PAC to summon AG for failing to show up at parliament

Public Appointments Committee (PAC) of Parliament says it will summon the Attorney General Thabo Chakaka Nyirenda for failing to appear before parliament after being called.

According to PAC, Nyirenda was supposed to clarify issues that border around appointment of Chief Executive Officers (CEO) in various parastatals.

PAC observed that the Department of Statutory Corporations’ mandate as established through a Presidential Decree of 1982 was overtaken by the various Acts of Parliament which established independent Statutory Corporations.

The committee wants to understand why appointments of CEOs are sent to Office of President and Cabinet for endorsement when Parliament has given boards of directors of parastatals powers to appoint people in such positions.

It also also wants those who facilitate illegal appointments of CEOs to be punished, apart from dismissing the appointed person.

Meanwhile, AG Nyirenda is yet to comment on the matter.
