    "content": "Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011, he has nominated Ms. Caroline Nzilani King’oku Ajuoga and Hon. Isaac Kiprono Ruto as members of the JSC. Article 171(2) of the Constitution requires that the JSC comprises among others, one woman and one man to represent the public not being lawyers appointed by the President with the approval of the National Assembly. His Excellency the President now seeks the approval of the nominees by this House. Standing Order 45 provides that upon receipt of nomination for appointment, such nomination shall stand committed to the relevant Departmental Committee for consideration. In this regard, I hereby refer the Message from His Excellency the President, the certificate of presidential nomination together with the curriculum vitaes and other testimonials of the nominees to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for consideration. Hon. Members whereas Section 15 of the JSC Act, 2011 requires the National Assembly to consider the nominees and either approve or reject them within seven days, Section 8 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011 requires the National Assembly to undertake the exercise within 28 days. In this regard, the Committee is expected to immediately commence the approval process, notify the nominees and the general public of the time and place for holding the approval hearings and thereafter table its report to enable the House to consider the matter within the statutory timelines. Thank you. Next Order! Leader of the Majority Party. Yes, Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Wandayi. Is it about Order No.5?"
