    "content": "are five and it has been confirmed that within the next 14 days, the vacancies for the five remaining regions are going to be advertised. To fill the vacant positions, an advertisement was done by the TSC in March 2020, however, only two vacancies were advertised, namely, for chairperson and a member as opposed to advertising all the seven positions. That is why we had a meeting with the PSC to confirm why all the seven positions were not advertised. The Committee also observed that the procedure to arrive at the nominees for the position of chairperson and member was adhered to by the selection panel. Out of the three nominees presented to His Excellency the President by the selection panel, the President nominated one Dr. Jamleck Muturi John, PhD, and Mr. Timon Alfred Otieno Oyucho for approval by the National Assembly and subsequent appointment as chairperson and a member of the TSC respectively pursuant to Article 252(b) and (c) of the Constitution. Hon. Speaker, we made the following general recommendations: That, the appointing authority, in making subsequent appointments towards attaining the full membership of the TSC, should adhere to the provisions of Section 8(16)(a) and (b) of the TSC Act No.20 of 2012 which provides that: “In nominating or appointing a person as a member of the Commission, the panel and the President shall— (a) observe the principle of gender equity, ethnic and other diversities of the people of Kenya, and shall ensure equality of opportunity for persons with disabilities; and (b) take into account the national values and principles set out in Articles 10, 27 and 232 of the Constitution.”"
