    "content": "On Friday, 25th November 2022 and Saturday, 26th November 2022, I received communication from the leadership of the Majority and Minority parties conveying the nomination of seven persons for appointment to the membership of the CRA in accordance with Article 215(2)(b) and (c) of the Constitution. With regard to the nominees from the political parties in the National Assembly under Article 215(2)(b) of the Constitution, I have received the names of Benedict Muasya Mutiso and Wilfred Koitamet Olekina Nchoshoi, having been nominated by the Majority Party and the Minority Party, respectively. With regard to nominees under Article 215(2)(c) of the Constitution, the leadership of political parties represented in the Senate nominated Jonas Misto Vincent Kuko, Dr. Isabel Nyambura Waiyaki and Hadija Nganyi Juma. The three were nominated by the Majority Party. Also, Dr. George Jalang’o Midiwo and Hon. Fatuma Gedi Ali, CBS were nominated by the Minority Party. Noting the close timelines and given the fact that the House is scheduled to commence the long recess on Thursday, 1st December 2022 in accordance with its Calendar, I forthwith refer the names of the seven persons so nominated to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. The Committee is expected to undertake the necessary approval hearing as contemplated under the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011 and Standing Order 45 (Committal of Public Appointments to Committees). I am aware that the Committee has already called for the submission of memoranda from the public as part of the approval process. Additionally, by way of a notification, I directed the Clerk of the National Assembly to transmit the said notification to all Members, which he did. I now direct the Committee to expeditiously undertake the approval hearings and report back to the House. In any case, the Committee should conclude the approval hearings by 6th December 2022 and table its report before the expiry of the constitutional deadline. The House is accordingly guided. I thank you."
