    "content": "members of the EACC by a period of 14 days from 26th October 2021. This was to ensure that the House complies with the requirements of the law. The Committee, having vetted all the nominees, made the general observation that the nominees satisfy the qualifications criteria set out in Section 5(2) of the EACC Act 2011, namely, none of the nominees may be disqualified on grounds set out under Sections 5(3) and (4) of the EACC Act, and that all the nominees satisfied the statutory requirements on leadership and integrity and have been cleared by all relevant authorities such as KRA, DCI and HELB. None of the nominees has been convicted in a court of law for criminal offences in the past three years as stipulated in Article 75(1) of the Constitution. All nominees indicated that they had no potential conflict of interest. Article 77(1) of the Constitution prohibits a full-time State officer from participating in any other gainful employment and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Act provides that the chairperson and members of the Commission shall serve on a part- time basis. The Committee notes that all the nominees do not hold office in any political party and hence satisfy the provisions of the Constitution. None of the nominees has contravened the following Articles of the Constitution, namely, Article 75 on conflict of interest, Article 76 on financial probity, and Article 77 on restriction on activities of State officers. They are, therefore, fit to hold offices as members of the EACC. All the nominees have exhibited impressive knowledge and understanding of the mandate of the EACC."
