    "content": "Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011, requires the relevant House to undertake the exercise within 28 days. Therefore, the timelines prescribed in the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011 shall apply. The Committees should expeditiously proceed to jointly notify the nominee and the public of the approval hearings and proceed to undertake the necessary approval hearings. Thereafter, the Committees should submit their joint report to enable the House to consider the matter within statutory timelines. Conscious of the fact that the House is scheduled to proceed for recess next week, I wish to clarify that the counting of days with respect to the consideration of the nominee will cease during the recess period and resume when the House first sits upon resumption from recess. The Committee is, therefore, expected to immediately commence the approval process and notify the nominee and the general public of the time and place for holding the approval hearing and upon conclusion of the hearing, table its report within the set timelines. I thank you."
