    "content": "THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011 relating to extension of period for consideration of nominees for appointment to a public office, this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of the nominee submitted by His Excellency the President for appointment as Principal Secretary for the State Department for Implementation of Curriculum Reforms by a period of 14 days from 21st April 2021. I will take the House through the reasons why we need this extension. Hon. Speaker, today, you and the Leader of the Majority Party have upheld the honour of this House. You have demonstrated that not only do you read our minds, but are also patient and very wise. You and the Leader of the Majority Party have done us well. Thank you so much for guiding the House to ensure that this Motion was not dropped. The extension makes more sense now when the House has resolved to go on recess. The Motion is more appreciated now that the House has already taken that vote. When this Motion came before on the Order Paper, it put me in a very awkward position. I appreciate you for guiding us on that. Based on the communication received, the Departmental Committee on Education and Research is to undertake the vetting of a nominee in a new State Department under the Ministry of Education to be called the State Department for Implementation of Curriculum Reforms. This department is very key because it will ensure that the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) is well-rolled out. The Committee it to hold the pre-vetting briefing tomorrow. It will do the actual vetting on Thursday. Therefore, 21st April is the last day, as per the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, for the Committee to submit and table the report. That is why the Departmental Committee on Education and Research is requesting for the extension of 14 days. I beg to move and request Hon. Wanga, who is still around, to second."
