By close of submission deadline, the Committee had not received any memorandum contesting the suitability of the nominees. So, four posts of the Director of the Board of Competition Authority of Kenya fell vacant and after their expiry and pursuant to Section 10(1)(f) of the Competition Act, 2010, the CS, National Treasury and Planning submitted the four names to us for vetting and approval. The nominees appeared before us on Friday, 22nd October for the approval hearings where the Committee examined their suitability based on criteria set out in the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approvals) Act,2011.
