Parliament’s Appointments Committee has approved the appointment of Alice Kaboyo as State Minister for Luweero-Rwenzori Triangle.
Alice had earlier been rejected over integrity issues.
The Committee chaired by the Deputy Speaker Annet Anita Among on June 18, declined to approve the appointment of Kaboyo, a former State House aide who is among the 80 Ministers that President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni appointed to serve in the cabinet on 8th June.
Kaboyo’s appointment was previously rejected by the committee basing on the June 2012 incident when the Anti-Corruption Court convicted her when she pleaded guilty to some of the counts in the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) case.
Kaboyo, who was then co-accused with three former Health Ministers Jim Muhwezi, his deputies Mike Mukula and Dr. Alex Kamugisha was sentenced to a fine of Shs20 million or an 8-year prison. She chose to pay the Shs20 million fine.
