Also, Abdul Ningi a member of the committee advised the CAC officials to ensure that the registrar general appeared before the committee, so he could provide the information needed by the committee.

”Mr Chairman, it is imperative to understand where they are coming from that this is not the first time they are appearing before the Committee.

“There was a deliberate discussion with you that there was discrepancies in revenue generation and expenditure by the Corporate Affairs Commission and we said, the Registrar General should be here.

“Yet you are here and you probably told him that you can do the job, even if you can do the job, this job is not for you please. Don’t take the bullet that is meant for him,” Mr Ningi said.”
