More money's discreetly finding its way into the pockets of public sector board members.
A quietly released Cabinet document reveals governance board chairs could now be paid more than $160 thousand.
Annual fees had previously been capped at about $90 thousand.
Public Service Minister Judith Collins told Mike Hosking these people are often responsible for large sums of money and assets.
