    "content": "Hon. Speaker, from the Report of the Public Service Commission which, as I indicated, all the Committees of this House referred to as evidence in their reports, it is clear that the process of shortlisting and interviewing 51 persons adhered to the provisions of the Constitution and, among other things, gender, merits, youth, persons living with disabilities and ethnic and regional diversity of our country. Therefore, allow me to conclude by saying that the memorandum by the Law Society of Kenya that was brought to the House was, indeed, forwarded to all the Departmental Committees that were conducting the vetting hearings. To this end, I am very glad because the Reports of the Committees have analysed all the ensuing constitutional issues relating to gender, youth and persons living with disabilities, ethnic and regional diversity. Therefore, all the Committees found that the nominees complied with those constitutional and statutory requirements of our Constitution. Let me also take this opportunity, in a special way, to thank all the Chairpersons and Members of our Committees who took a lot of their time to participate in the vetting process and ensure that this process was completed successfully in record time. I also thank them for availing themselves and sacrificing to be here until late for this approval. I also congratulate all the nominees on their approval today as Principal Secretaries. I inform them that they will take office when they are sworn in as accounting officers in the Ministries of Government. They must be accountable to Kenyans and this House.
