    "content": "Order, Hon. Mutunga. You come in late and you start disrupting the House. That is not right. When you are receiving a Communication, you remain silent. It is only for a few minutes. 2. That, the quorum of the joint sittings of the Committees will be the respective quorums of each of the committees as stipulated in the Standing Orders of the respective Houses; 3. That, as contemplated under Rule 9(6) of the Joint Rules, unless a decision is reached by consensus, any vote to be taken in the joint sittings of the Committees shall be by separate Houses. This will ensure that the numerical difference of the individual Members representing the Houses in the joint sittings has no effect on the decisions of the joint sittings of the Committees; 4. That, the Joint Committee shall, upon conclusion of the approval hearings, submit a Joint Report to the respective Houses in the manner contemplated by paragraph 7 of Joint Rule No.9; and 5. That, the approval process shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, CAP 7F. Hon. Members, whereas the Competition Act, Cap 504 does not provide specific timelines within which the House is to consider the nominee, Section 8(1) of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, Cap 5F requires the relevant House to undertake the exercise within 28 days. Conscious of the fact that the House is scheduled to proceed for recess this week, I hasten 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. Therefore, the Departmental Committee shall submit the Joint Report on or before Thursday, 3rd October 2024 to enable the House to consider the proposed appointment. The Committees are expected to forthwith jointly commence the approval process and notify the nominee and the general public of the time and place for holding the approval hearings and upon conclusion, table their report within the statutory timelines. I thank you. Next Order. Hon. Mutunga, now you can go on with your conversation."
