    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move the following Special Motion: THAT, taking into consideration the findings of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation in its Report on the Vetting of a Nominee for Appointment as the Data Commissioner, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 3rd November 2020 and pursuant to Section 6(4) of the Data Protection Act, 2019 and Section 8 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011, this House approves the appointment of Ms. Immaculate Kassait as the Data Commissioner. Hon. Speaker, upon receipt of the Message from the President, you directed the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation to undertake vetting of the nominee. The Clerk of the National Assembly put an advert in the dailies on 19th October, 2020 for people who have interest to submit memoranda. By close of business on 26th October, 2020 the Committee had received three memoranda. Two of them were in support of the nominee, one by the former Chair of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Mr. Ahmed Isaack Hassan and the other by the Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA-Kenya). A memorandum from the International Court of Justice (ICJ-Kenya) was contesting the appointment of the nominee. The Committee went through all the memorandums and established that the memorandum from ICJ-Kenya did not meet the requirements and that vindicated the nominee. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
