Correct Answer:
C. Director General
In the typical organizational structure of an authority or statutory body, the individual responsible for the daily operational management and administrative tasks is the chief executive. Therefore, the day-to-day business and secretarial functions of the Authority are the responsibility of the Director General, who acts as the operational head.
- The Chief Secretary is a senior administrative position in the provincial government, overseeing multiple departments, not usually the daily functions of a specific authority.
- The Chairperson typically heads the governing board, focusing on policy, strategy, and oversight, rather than daily operations.
- An Authorized Officer is usually delegated specific powers for particular tasks, not the overall responsibility for the Authority's daily administration.
