Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 42, I wish to report to the House that I have received a Message from His Excellency the President regarding the nomination of a person for appointment as Chairperson of Kenya Fish Marketing Authority. In the Message, His Excellency the President conveys that in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 201(1)(a) and (2) of the Fisheries Management and Development Act 2016 as read together with Sections 3 and 5 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act of 2010, he has nominated Hon. Martin Otieno Ogindo for the appointment as Chairperson of Kenya Fish Marketing Authority. The President now seeks the approval of the appointment by this House. Hon. Members, Standing Order 45 requires that upon receipt of notification of nomination for appointments, they shall stand committed to the relevant Departmental Committee of the House for consideration. In this respect, I hereby refer the message from His Excellency the President together with the curriculum vitae and testimonials of the nominee to the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy and Irrigation for consideration. Section 8 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act of 2012 requires the committee which such nomination is referred to consider the matter and table a report to the House within 28 days. In this regard, the Committee is expected to immediately commence the approval process, notify the nominee and the general public of the time and place for holding the approval hearings. Thereafter, upon conclusion of the hearings, table its report on or before Wednesday, 12th April 2023 to enable the House to consider the matter with statutory timelines. I thank you."
