    "content": "The approval that Parliament gave in 2004 when the Director and his Assistants were appointed lapsed with the expiry of their first contract. As such, the Committee expected the President to come back to Parliament to seek new approval for the new appointments. With those conclusions, the Committee recommends as follows:- (a) The House resolves that the reappointment of the Director and the Assistant Directors of the KACC as contained in Gazette Notice Vol.61, No.77, Gazette Notices.9300 and 9301 respectively was not done in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 8(3) and Section 8(4) of the Anti-Corruption and Economics Crime Act, 2003 as read together with Paragraph 3(2) of the First Schedule to the Act. (b) The Joint Committee hereby urges this House to resolve that the Gazette Notices 9300 and 9301 containing Gazette Notices Vol. 61, No. 77 be annulled. (c) The Committee urges that due process of the law be followed in the appointment of the Director and the Assistant Directors respectively. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having read the Report of the Committee, I wish to make a few statements that will clear the issues that were not addressed by the Committee and which have been used to justify the different positions held on this matter. Right from the outset, I would like to declare that the matters raised in this Report are issues of complying with legislation. They are issues as to whether this House wants to continue legislating in vain. That is looking at the procedures that were used in the appointments; whether they were right or wrong."
