    "content": "This nominee was appointed as Personnel II after leaving university and rose through thick and thin to be Chief Personnel Officer; Assistant Director, Human Resource Management, Senior Director, Human Resource Management and Deputy Director, Human Resource Management in the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030. She has an excellent record in public administration and especially with specific reference to human resource matters. Hon. Speaker, Sir, we received two letters. There was an affidavit from the National Council for People with Disabilities on this lady and there were issues of impropriety. The affidavit said that this nominee was involved in misappropriation of funds meant for the disabled people and many other complaints. But after a thorough analysis, we established that most of them were allegations. Generally, on the issue of integrity, I think she takes the box. On the issue of qualification, she is more than qualified. With her condition, she was able to pass her exams and managed to go all the way to Alliance Girls High School and up to her current position. Hon. Speaker, there was a letter from Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). The letter said that this nominee is being investigated for misappropriation of funds. We managed to summon officials from EACC and they confirmed to us that they were going to conclude investigations touching on her in a month’s time. The Committee found it necessary to clear her pending the investigation. I am assuming, if EACC has substantive issues, they can take this nominee to court, if she is appointed by the President. Hon. Speaker, Sir, we want to say that on the issue of performance and understanding the role of that docket, she did not do quite well. I want to say that she did not display or demonstrate capacity to perform and deliver on this mandate. So, on account of overall suitability we said, nonetheless, we have to consider issues of affirmative action as provided for in Article 55 (2) of the Constitution and taking into consideration the values and principles of Public Service as provided for in Articles 232 (1) of the Constitution, the Committee found the nominee generally suitable for appointment as Principal Secretary for Co-ordination in the Ministry of Interior and Co- ordination of National Government. Lastly, I wish to say that pursuant to the provision of Article 155 (3) of the Constitution and Standing Order No. 45 and 216 (5)(f), the Committee recommends that this House approves the following two nominees for the appointment by His Excellency the President, as Principal Secretaries in the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. One is Mr. Mutea Iringo, Principal Secretary for Interior and Madam Josephta Mukobe, Principal Secretary for Co-ordination. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and I want to ask my good friend, one of the senior Members of this House, hon. Mohamed Shidiye to second. Thank you."
