    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 29 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (1), by— (i) inserting the words “ whose qualifications and experience shall be as that of a Judge of the High Court” immediately after the word “chairperson in paragraph (a); (ii) inserting the words “whose qualifications and experience shall be as prescribed in the regulations” appearing immediately after the word “member” in paragraph (b); (b) by deleting sub-clause (2) and substituting therefor the following new sub- clause— (2) A person appointed as a member under subsection (1) shall be nominated by the following professional bodies from amongst their members as follows— (i) three persons nominated by the Law Society of Kenya; (ii) one person nominated by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, Kenya Chapter; (iii) three persons nominated by the Kenya Institute of Supplies Management; (iv) three persons nominated by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya; and (v) four persons nominated by the Association of Professional Societies in East Africa provided that the appointed nominees are not members of the professional bodies mentioned under subparagraphs (i)-(iv). (c) by inserting the following new subclause immediately after subclause (2)— “(3) The procedure for nominating the persons mention under subsection (2) shall be as prescribed.” This amendment gives the qualifications for the chairperson and members of the Review Board. We also had a lot of proposals from Hon. Gumbo, Hon. Ogari and Hon. Njuguna in terms of the nominating bodies to the Review Board. We sat, harmonised and agreed that the membership of the Review Board shall be obtained from the listed organisations. That is the amendment we are passing. We agreed to have 14 members and one chairperson. This is because, since procurement will be done in all the counties in this country, we need to have people who will listen to issues that come up. So, we agreed the membership of the Review Board shall be nominated by the following bodies as follows: Three persons nominated by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK). The Members said most of the issues which will be listened to will be about the legality and process of procurement. That is why LSK is appearing. One person nominated by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, Kenya Chapter; three persons nominated by the Kenya Institute of Supplies Management (KISM). That is the relevant profession for procurement. Three persons nominated by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) and four persons nominated by the Association of Professional Societies in East Africa (APSEA)."
