Members, Standing Order No.45(1) provides that upon receipt of the notification of nomination for appointment, such nominations shall stand committed to the relevant Departmental Committee of the House for consideration. In this regard, I refer the names of the nominees, including their curriculum vitae, to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning to undertake the necessary approval hearings. Thereafter, the House shall consider the proposed nominees in accordance with the provisions of the respective Acts of Parliament and the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011. Section 8(1) of the Act requires the National Assembly to either approve or reject the nominees within 28 days from the date on which the notification of nomination was given. In view of the foregoing, I wish to guide the Committee and the House as follows:- (i) That the Committee should notify the nominees and the general public of the time and place for holding the approval hearings in good time. The notification should therefore be made immediately. (ii) That the Committee should thereafter commence the necessary approval hearings and submit its Report to the House within the stipulated timelines to enable the House conclude the approval process within the timelines provided in law. I thank you."
