    "content": " Hon. Senators, as you may have noted, the Senate Majority Leader has tabled the report of the Parliamentary Service Commission on the approval for appointment of Hon. Johnson Muthama to the position of male non-member Commissioner of the Parliamentary Service Commission. The composition of the Parliamentary Service Commission is detailed in Article 127 of the Constitution of Kenya. Article 127(2)(d) of the Constitution provides that the composition of the Commission shall include - “one man and one woman appointed by Parliament from among persons who are experienced in public affairs, but are not Members of Parliament.” Honourable Senators, public appointments such as this must be approved by Parliament as provided for in Article 127(2)(d) of the Constitution and Section 3 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act. Further, Standing Order 77 of the Senate Standing Orders provides the procedure for approval hearing by a select committee. From the foregoing, this matter stands committed to the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights for consideration. Pursuant to Section 8 (1) of the said Act and Standing Order 77 (3), the Committee has 14 days from today to consider this matter and report to the Senate on the suitability of the candidate for appointment to the Parliamentary Service Commission. I thank you. Next Order."
