Hon. Speaker, this Motion is discussing Article 230 (2) (b) (v) of the Constitution on the requirement of a nominee from the National Police Service Commission (NPSC). I would like to inform Members that the SRC as established has had a deficit of a nominee from the NPSC. Section 7 (10) of the SRC Act, 2010 outlines the procedure for nomination of Members of the SRC and states that the President shall submit the names of nominees to the National Assembly while Section 7 (11) provides for vetting of the nominees by the National Assembly within 21 days. Through a letter dated 31st December, His Excellency the President notified the National Assembly of the nomination of one Ms. Elizabeth Wangui Muchiri for approval for appointment as a Member of SRC representing the NPSC. Hon. Speaker, a Communication made on Thursday, 21st December 2021 conveyed to the House a Message from His Excellency the President and subsequently referred the nominee’s curriculum vitae from the Selection Panel on her recruitment, to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for approval hearing. While referring the matter to the Committee, you directed that the Committee should undertake the vetting within 28 days pursuant to Section 8 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act. You further directed that since the House was on long recess, the counting of the 28 days will begin on 25th January 2022 upon commencement of the Sixth Session. Therefore, the Committee was expected to table its Report on or before Tuesday 22nd February 2022, which we have already done and it is subject of this debate. Therefore, in compliance with Article 118(b) of the Constitution and Section 6(4) of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act No.33 of 2011, the Clerk of the National Assembly placed an advertisement in the print media on 17th January 2022 informing the public of the nomination, date, time and place of the approval hearing. He also invited the public to submit memoranda by way of written statements on oath or affidavit on the suitability of the nominee in conformity with The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
