Former nominated MP Amina Abdalla found herself in an awkward position when she appeared before the National Assembly’s Finance and Planning committee for vetting. Now, she was, to convince her former colleagues that she is the most suitable candidate for a job at an institution that MPs love to hate. During the vetting, MPs pointed out that the SRC has always portrayed them as a greedy lot and leaders who have no interest of the people they represent at heart. Abdalla said she badly wants to be a commissioner at the SRC to build a workable relationship between the two institutions. She nonetheless admitted it would be a huge task, keeping in mind the Parliamentary Service Commission has only one slot at the SRC and she would be facing off with 12 other commissioners.
