On Thursday, the MCAs are expected to reconvene to debate the report which will be tabled on the floor of the house.

Speaker Kennedy Ngondi said the committee is not under pressure to ensure all the CECs are approved but they will diligently work to get a competent team for the CECs.

“The governor made a nomination as demanded by the law and it is the obligation of the Select Committee on Appointment to decide who fits the bill. There is no pressure here because if there would have been an alternative way of doing things, we could have done it. We are playing our part as an Assembly and a committee,” he said.
