    "content": "As the House is aware, the Communication for the vetting of Dr. Chumo was relayed to the House by His Excellency the President on 27th June 2018 and, subsequently, the nomination was relayed to the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning for the purpose of vetting. As required by the Standing Orders and Sections 8 and 9 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning was required to approve or reject the appointment of this nominee within 14 days. As you are aware, the House went on recess and, therefore, this Committee applied to your office for approval of extension of the appointment of this nominee because the stipulated time was to expire during the recess period. Your Office subsequently approved the extension. I want to report to this House that the extension expires by the end of tomorrow, 26th July 2018. The Members of the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning felt that they were unfairly attacked not only by the public and the Press, but also by Members of this House. The attack made it seem like it was wrong for the Committee to vet the nominee. I want to bring to the attention of this House that the National Assembly, through its Committees, is mandated to vet nominees to various posts."
