The National Assembly Committee of Powers and Privileges has concluded hearings into complaints against the conduct of a House Committee Member and Chairperson.

The matter arose from a complaint submitted to the Office of the Speaker by the outgoing Chairperson of the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), Rev. Dr. Samuel Kobia, alleging harassment, hostility, and demeaning treatment by the former Chairperson of the Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education and Member for Bumula, the Hon. Jack Wanami Wamboka.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has resolved to engage National Treasury officials over the rising pending bills owed by State entities to suppliers and contractors.

Committee Chairperson Hon. Tindi Mwale (Butere) announced the decision during a meeting that considered the Auditor-General’s report for the 2023/2024 financial year on the State Department for Correctional Services.

The session was attended by Principal Secretary for Correctional Services Dr. Salome Muhia-Beacco, senior officials from the department, and Commissioner General of Prisons Mr. Patrick Aranduh.
