Members, you may recall that on 15th October 2020, the House passed a resolution to the effect that during the period of the short recess upon receipt of names of persons nominated for appointment to State or public offices requiring approval of the House from His Excellency the President, the Speaker shall forthwith refer the Messages containing the names to the relevant Committee for consideration, without having to recall the House for a Special Sitting. In furtherance of the said resolution of the House, I directed the Office of the Clerk to promptly convey this Message to all Members of the National Assembly and consequently refer the Message and the curriculum vitae of the nominees to the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations, to commence the necessary vetting processes as contemplated under the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act and Standing Order No.45 relating to committal of public appointments to Committees. Hon. Members, Section 8 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act requires that the Committee shall consider a nomination and table a report for debate and decision of the House within 14 days from the date of notification, which is today. In this regard, the Committee should table its report on the above nominees soonest to enable the House to conclude the matter within the statutory timelines. Thank you, Hon. Members."
