There is no Member of the Committee who raised any question about Prof. Ntiba’s performance as a Permanent Secretary (PS). All the issues that were raised concerned the Presbyterian University, where he was the chairman of the Council, but from which he has since resigned. As a Committee, we are also seeking the leave of the House, so that we can find out if the Constitution says anything for a situation where one earns from a private institution and a public institution at the same time. We are saying that, maybe, the National Assembly can give us a go ahead, as a Committee, to seek the interpretation of the Supreme Court on this matter."}
