    "content": " I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to seek for a Statement regarding the recruitment of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF). Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding recruitment of Mr. Josiah Arabu Moriasi as the CEO of the YEDF. Mr. Josiah Arabu Moriasi was recruited competitively to the position of CEO of YEDF with effect from 1st November 2016 for a term of three years renewable once. His first term contract ended on 31st October 2019. Consequently, the board made a resolution to extend the same for a period of six months to allow the newly appointed members of the board to review the CEO’s first term performance which would inform their resolution for re-appointment. It is against this background that I seek for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on the following: (i) Whether the board considered the CEO’s performance evaluation in consideration with a view to renew his contract or re-appointment as provided for in the Executive Order No.7, Mwongozo, relevant Government circulars on CEOs’ re-appointment and the Fund’s Human Resource Policy and Procedures Manual? (ii) Whether the extension of the CEO’s contract for a period of six months after successfully serving his first term was legally justifiable? (iii) Whether there existed possible conflicts of interest among the board chairperson and the members during voting in the matter of contract renewal or re-appointment for Mr. Moriasi? (iv) Whether the board ignored the advice from the Inspectorate of State Corporations and the National Treasury on procedures in re-appointment of public entity CEOs? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
