    "content": "appointed the then acting CEO as the CEO and he is currently the CEO of the KBC. There is even a report done by the Efficiency Monitoring Unit (EMU), which has implicated the CEO who has just been appointed to the position on the World Cup Deal. There were three people who were implicated in this; the then MD, the current MD and another staff. The two were suspended and one was retained and even promoted. What kind of impunity is this? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I remember the Speaker making a ruling that the Committee should go further and investigate the appointment further beyond the board. Now, I expect the Committee to go ahead and even investigate the appointment of the current CEO. Did this appointment follow the laid down procedures? Is he competent enough? Has he met the integrity requirement of this position given that we have heard of these cases of suspicion and allegations of corruption on his person? Finally, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think this board has been doing a lot of disservice to this corporation, especially on procurement. Remember that, earlier on, there was an issue which the Ministry even ordered some investigation and brought a report implicating the board for having not done the right thing in terms of the contract with K24 and China Radio International. They did not follow the proper procedure. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is high time that we helped this State corporation. This can only be done if the Committee investigates the allegation of corruption in this State corporation and further, to investigate the very appointment of the CEO. Without a good and credible CEO, no matter what you try to do in this State corporation, you will not help it grow. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, and I beg to support."
