Alaso rejects PAC appointment

 

Alaso gave lack of requisite experience as the reason for turning down the juicy offer. The Serere woman MP also said she was not consulted before her appointment. The appointment was made by FDC president Mugisha Muntu yesterday. 

 

In a statement she said: "I thank NEC for assigning me to chair PAC. Unfortunately, I am not able to take up this due to my inability and lack of expertise in figures. I am only a historian, social worker and Policy analyst. If only I had been consulted, I would have informed NEC of my inadequacies earlier. I have no background in Accounts, Finance or Auditing. Please re-assign.

 

A senior official in party who preferred anonymity confirmed the development.  He said the party was trying to convince her to change her mind.   

 

Yesterday, Aruu County MP, Odonga Otto Odonga, also turned down his appointment after he was named shadow minister for internal affairs.
