Speaker names members of 18 Bunge standing committees.

National Assembly Speaker Job Ndugai.
NATIONAL Assembly Speaker Job Ndugai released a list of 18 Standing Parliamentary Committees with the introduction of a new --Public Investment Committee (PIC).
The committee, which comes into being for the first time, is primarily meant to see whether affairs of the public investments are managed in accordance with sound financial or business principles and prudent commercial practices.
Immediately after names of the MPs forming various committees were released, the Opposition Camp came up in arms saying they were not contented with the arrangement.
Chadema Deputy Secretary General (Mainland) John Mnyika said all MPs from opposition parties forming UKAWA were directed not to attend the committees’ meeting, which started yesterday evening.
The first agenda of the meetings was to elect chairpersons and their deputies. Mr Mnyika said the opposition also convened a meeting late yesterday evening to go through all committees and will today issue their stance.
Kigoma Urban MP on ACT-Wazalendo ticket Zitto Kabwe, who led Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for the last two terms, does not feature in any of the two parliamentary oversight committees.
Parliamentary oversight/ watchdog committees are Local Authorities Accounts Committee (LAAC) and PAC. His (Zitto) name appeared on the Community Services Development Committee.
Senior parliamentary official earlier told the ‘Daily News’ that the Speaker of the National Assembly reached to the decision of forming the PIC due to the fact that for a number of years, the sector had been going without proper regulation, thus making the country get less from investment.
He pointed out that the country had lacked proper mechanism to regulate and oversee investment sector, forcing the new Speaker (Job Ndugai) to form the PIC.
“It is a study that has been done for some time, also through learning from other countries like Kenya, the Speaker applied his mandate and formed the committee,” the source told the ‘Daily News’.
This committee, according to the source, will also oversee and examine the reports and accounts of the public investments and see if the revenues collected from the investment industry are satisfactory.
