    "content": "It is also noteworthy that the Bill contains a transition clause to provide that the selection panel existing immediately at the commencement date of the Act shall cease to exist. However, a person who served as a member of the selection panel may be nominated to serve as a member of the selection panel appointed under the new Act. In this regard, any of the existing panel members may still be nominated in the new selection panel once the Bill is enacted into law. We also appreciated that the panel has already done some work. They had called for people to apply for the jobs and there is already work that had been done that is yet to be concluded. We also sought, as a matter of creating some transitional mechanism, to accommodate the nominating bodies, for instance, the Parliamentary Service Commission, the Law Society of Kenya, the Inter-Religious Council of Kenya and those that had already had representation in the selection panel. If they wish to renominate the same people, there is nothing within this law that stops them from renominating or reappointing the same people. Those names will eventually come before the House to agree or disagree with the nominating bodies."
