The Secretary to the Cabinet hopes that the speculation over the matter will now be put to rest.
Meanwhile Chief Government Spokesperson Joseph Katema has challenged people questioning the legitimacy of acting President Wynter Kabimba to read the constitution and see whether there is any illegality in his appointment.
Dr Katema has told QFM News in an interview in response to growing speculation that power might not have been handed over properly, that the constitution is clear on the transfer of power for someone to act as President.
Dr Katema says only the republican President can appoint someone qualified to act as President from among members of the Cabinet while he is away.
There has been growing speculation questioning the delegation of Presidential powers to Mr Kabimba.
