    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the aforementioned Committees complied with the constitutional and legal requirements and the establishment procedures for the approval hearing. The Committee ensured public participation and openness in carrying out the approval process. Notifying and inviting the public to submit memoranda were placed in the print media on 20th February, 2023 as required under the law. The Committee conducted the approval hearing on Tuesday, 17th March, 2023. In conducting the approval hearing the Committee was guided by the provisions of the Constitution, The Climate Change Act No. 11 of 2016 and the Public Appointments Parliamentary Approval Act, 2011 and the Standing Orders of the respective Houses. The Committee observations contained in the report, on the basis of the constitutional and legal requirements as well as submissions of the nominees during the approval hearing, Section 7(1) of the Climate Change Act No.11 of 2016, mandates the President to nominate candidates for appointment of members of NCCC. The Committee recommendations as contained on page 39 of the report, are based on the evidence and information from the proceedings during the approval hearing. The Committee recommend that having considered the suitability, capability and integrity of the nominees; and pursuant to Section 7(4) of the Climate Change Act, 2011 and Section 8(2) of the Public Appointments Parliamentary Approval Act No.33 of 2011; Parliament approves the nomination of Ms. Emily Mwende Mwaita, Mr. John Kioli, and Prof. George Odera Outa for appointment as members of NCCC by the President and rejects the nomination of Ms. Umrah Omar as a member of NCCC. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Committee resolved to reject Ms. Umrah Omar, owing to the failure by the nominee to demonstrate knowledge of topical, technical and administrative issues touching on the matters relating to indigenous knowledge pursuant to Section 7(2)(h) of the Climate Change Act and Section 7(c) of the Public Appointments Parliamentary Approval Act, 2011 during her approval hearing."
