• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Kabue being approved as a nominee to the KNCHR because his name was also forwarded to the National Assembly, but was not in those who had been shortlisted by the selection panel.

I just want to correct the wrong assertion that may have been made by hon. Mwaura that the law provides that a person with disability shall be appointed notwithstanding the provisions of the law.

We had recommended, as a Committee, for his appointment last year ... view
