    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011 relating to the extension of period of consideration of nominees for appointment to a public office, this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of a Special Motion relating to the approval of a nominee submitted by His Excellency the President for appointment as the Chairperson of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission by a period of fourteen (14) days from 12th April 2023. Hon. Speaker allow me to explain the reasons for moving this Procedural Motion. On Wednesday, 5th April 2023, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs vetted a nominee for appointment to the position of Chairperson of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission by the name Bishop David Oginde. Unfortunately, Easter holidays set in and the Committee was not able to retreat to write a Report. There could have been a meeting yesterday but there was a Parliamentary Group meeting for the Kenya Kwanza Coalition. Thus, the Committee has not been able to write the Report. It requires a maximum of 14 days even though the Committee may do it within a shorter period of time, which will be better. However, we have a maximum of 14 days to prepare a Report and table it in this House. The Report must be informative. It must conform with the required standards. It must be in consonance with the work done and delivered by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. Therefore, I appeal to the House to agree to the extension of time for a period of 14 days so that we produce a Report and bring it to the House. With those remarks, I beg to move and request the Member for Baringo North, Hon. Makilap, to second the Motion."
