Members, I wish to report to the House that I have received a Message from His Excellency the President conveying his nomination of Prof. Fatuma Nyaguthii Chege, for appointment as a Principal Secretary in the newly created State Department for Implementation of Curriculum Reforms, under the Ministry of Education. His Excellency the President, having exercised his powers under Article 155(3) (a) of the Constitution, is now seeking the approval of the National Assembly on the appointment of Prof. Fatuma Chege as a Principal Secretary for the aforementioned State Department. Standing Order No.45 requires that, upon receipt of notice of nomination for appointment of a person to such office, the nomination shall stand committed to the relevant departmental committee of the House for consideration. Further, Section 8 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, as recently amended, requires the committee to consider such nomination and table a report for debate and decision of the House within 28 days. In this regard, pursuant to the provisions of the said law and Standing Order No.42(3) relating to Messages from the President I, hereby, refer the Message, together with the curriculum vitae of Prof. Fatuma Nyaguthii Chege, to the Departmental Committee on Education and Research for it to undertake the necessary approval hearings. The Committee should notify the nominee and the general public of the time and place for holding the approval hearings in good time.
