His Excellency the President, having received the Report of the Selection Panel for the Appointment of Commissioners of the IEBC and in accordance with the procedure set out in Section 7A of the Independent and Electoral Boundaries Commission Act, 2011 (Act No. 9 of 2011) as read together with the First Schedule to the Act and Sections 3 and 5 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act (Act No. 33 of 2011), is now seeking the approval of the National Assembly on the appointment of the following nominees: 1. Ms. Juliana Whonge Cherera. 2. Mr. Francis Mathenge Wanderi. 3. Ms. Irene Cherop Masit. 4. Mr. Justus Abonyo Nyang’aya. Hon. Members, Standing Order No. 45(1) 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(1) of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act (Act No. 33 of 2011), requires the National Assembly to consider the nominations within 28 days. In this regard, Hon.

The Committee should expeditiously notify the nominees and the general public of the time and place for holding the approval hearings and, upon the conclusion of the hearings, table its Report in the House in good time to enable the House to consider the matter within the stipulated timelines preferably before the long recess which, in accordance with the Calendar of the National Assembly, is scheduled for 20th August 2021. I thank you. It is signed by Hon. Justin B.N. Muturi, EGH, MP, and Speaker of the National Assembly on Thursday, 5th August 2021. Hon. Members, we shall proceed with the business that we were going on with. The next person on my list is Hon. Nangabo Janet, Member for Trans Nzoia."
