Jack Wamboka removido do comitê de investimentos públicos

O deputado de Bumula, Jack Wamboka, foi removido do Comitê de Investimentos Públicos um mês após sua suspensão devido a alegações de suborno.

Em mudanças nos comitês da Assembleia Nacional, Wamboka foi transferido para o Comitê de Coesão Nacional e Igualdade de Oportunidades. Espera-se que o deputado de Luanda, Dick Maungu, seja confirmado como o novo presidente do PIC.

O presidente da Assembleia, Moses Wetang’ula, suspendeu Wamboka no mês passado depois que a Comissão de Coesão e Integração Nacional alegou que seus funcionários foram humilhados e tiveram propinas solicitadas. Wamboka negou as acusações, dizendo que estava sendo punido por exigir transparência.

Outras mudanças afetaram aliados do ex-vice-presidente Rigathi Gachagua, incluindo John Mukunji e vários deputados que foram transferidos para comitês menos influentes.
