During today’s vetting, Oti Regional Minister Designate Joshua Makubu responded sharply to Weija Gbawe MP, who suggested that at 74 years old, with 10 children and three terms as an MP, it might be time for him to step down and pass the baton to his children.
Makubu fired back, saying, “74 years, 10 children, 3-term MP… don’t you think it’s time to hand over to your children?” His quick and witty reply impressed onlookers, effectively silencing his critic and demonstrating his ability to think on his feet.
The exchange highlighted the intense scrutiny faced by nominees during the vetting process, where every remark is closely examined. Makubu’s confident response showed he can handle tough questions, a trait that will likely serve him well in his new position.
As Makubu prepares for his new role, this incident serves as a reminder of the challenges of public office. Whether he can navigate the complexities of regional politics with the same skill remains to be seen.
