    "content": "Hon. Jimmy Angwenyi does not qualify. a) a citizen of Kenya; (even though you are one) b) holds a degree from a university recognised in Kenya; (even if he does) c) has at least five years’ professional experience in a relevant field; (even though he has) d) meets the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution. (I suspect he may be) Hon. Members, in this regard, the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Planning is requesting the National Assembly to nominate a Member for subsequent appointment in line with the Public Finance Management (Equalisation Fund Administration) Regulations, 2021, to enable full operationalisation of the Equalisation Fund. Hon. Members, I think this is important because this House has really deliberated on the issue of this Fund. Hon. Members, this is a relatively new procedure as the House is not typically involved in the nomination of persons to public offices. As such, even as I refer this Message to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for consideration, I wish to give some further guidance. The Committee will be required to convert itself into a selection panel and undertake an exercise to competitively recruit and interview suitable candidates. The Committee will then be expected to submit its report on the successful nominee to the House within set timelines for consideration by the House for nomination to the Cabinet Secretary. The House is, therefore, accordingly guided. Thank you."
