That as contemplated under Rule 9 (vi) of the Joint Rules, unless a decision is reached by consensus, any vote to be taken in the joint sittings of the Committees shall be by the separate Houses. This will ensure that the numerical differences of the individual Members representing the Houses in the joint sitting has no effect on the decision of the joint sittings of the Committee. 4. That the Joint Committee shall, having conducted the vetting hearings, submit a joint report to the respective Houses in the manner contemplated by Paragraph 7 of Joint Rule 9 (v). 5. That the approval process should be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011. Hon. Members, whereas the Central Bank of Kenya Act does not provide specific timelines within which the House is to consider the nominee, Section 8(1) of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011 requires the relevant House to undertake the exercise within 28 days. Hon. Members, in this regard, the Committees should expeditiously proceed to jointly notify the nominee and public. Thereafter, the Committees should undertake the necessary approval hearings and submit their joint Report on or before Thursday, 9th March 2023 to enable the House to consider the proposed appointment within the statutory timelines. Thank you. Next Order."
