    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to respond to the request for Statement by Hon. Joash Nyamoko, MP for North Mugirango, regarding the recruitment of the Chief Executive Officer at the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF). In his request, the Member identified five issues which he wanted addressed. My Committee has since received a response from the State Department for Youth Affairs on the five issues raised as follows: Issue Number 1: Whether the Board considered the CEO’s performance evaluation with a view to renew his contract or reappointment as provided for in the Executive Order No. 7 - Mwongozo, relevant Government circulars on CEO’s reappointment and the Fund’s Human Resource Policy and Procedures Manual. Mr. Moriasi was employed as YEDF Chief Executive Officer on 1st November 2016. His contract ended on 31st October 2019, and was renewed for six months ending 30th April, 2020. Mr. Moriasi’s performance scores were as follows: Financial Year 2016/2017 - 86% Financial Year 2017/2018 - 89.51% Financial Year 2018/2019 - No evaluation Mr. Moriasi did not avail any minutes to help the Board determine why the previous Board did not renew his contract. In addition to this, since the inception of the current Board, there has been a full 10 sets of minutes of meetings that have not been kept in record in the Fund’s office and this exposes the Board to having their decisions challenged as the minutes are the main record of Board’s deliberations and resolutions. There were rampant complaints by the youth on inaccessibility of YEDF services and on delayed loan processing. There was underperformance noted in the Fund’s core mandate of lending during the period Mr. Moriasi was CEO as follows: First, there was failure to meet loan disbursement targets as noted below."
