Chipukizzy who has zero talent, no tangible socio-economic achievements, no academic credentials to his name, no history of fighting drugs, has been appointed to sit in the NACADA board.— Eric (@amerix) June 7, 2018

There's sometimes about these appointments that doesn't add up! Isn't there some criteria? Suitability? Vetting? Past experience? Ama these don't matter any more?

Congratulations being a comedian doesn't mean you can't work elsewhere. After all the so called best suited have swindled our coffers dry— Mathias Nabutola (@MMNabutola) June 7, 2018
