The Parliamentary Public Appointments Committee (PAC) has courted controversy following its decision to reject the appointment of Ombudsman Martha Chizuma as the new Director General (DG) of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).
Chizuma appeared before the Committee earlier today where nine members voted for her while the other nine voted against her appointment.
In a normal circumstance, PAC comprises 21 members, including the chairperson.
People’s choice has been rejected by PAC members
But for today, only 18 MPs showed up to interview the appointee Chizuma. Those who voted against Chizuma gave her a one out of 25.
