Sources that attended the committee chaired by Rebecca Kadaga say  Kakooza’s approval was deferred awaiting him  to bring more evidence regarding his academic credentials.

Sources say that unlike Kakooza who spent several minutes in the committee being questioned , the other nominees have been approved.

The sources said Kakooza still has a task to bring supporting evidence about his papers before the committee can take a final decision on his appointment.

Meanwhile, when he emerged out of the committee, Kakooza who paraded his papers before journalists to prove his qualification for the job said he has all papers for this job and therefore criticized those who continue to peddle what he called lies against him.

He says when approved as a minister, his main task will be to ensure that all health centers have drugs in addition to increasing on his monitoring capacity to ensure that health workers do their work.
