Legal Affairs Committee rules out possibilities of summoning Buluma

The Legal Affairs Committee of parliament says it has no intention to summon either Hellen Buluma or SPC Colleen Zamba over the matters surrounding Buluma’s alleged firing/resignation as NOCMA Deputy Director General.

Committee chair, Peter Dimba, said their previous interest in the matter was on the noncompliance of the Ombudsman’s determination for NOCMA Board to fire Buluma on grounds that she was illegally recruited on the position.

Dimba said now that Buluma is no longer at the helm of the country’s oil company, the Committee has nothing to pursue.

The Attorney General, Thabo Chakaka Nyirenda, said yesterday that the mandate to summon the two lies in the hands of the legal affairs committee and not the Public Appointments Committee opposing what happened yesterday.
