    "content": "within fourteen days from the date on which the notification of nomination was given in accordance with Section 5. (2) At the conclusion of an approval hearing, the Committee shall prepare its report on the suitability of the candidate to be appointed to the office to which the candidate has been nominated, and shall include in the report, such recommendations as the Committee may consider necessary.” Hon. Senators, the period on the matter that is now before Parliament starts running upon the Speakers of the Houses of Parliament committing the name of the nominee to the relevant committees in the Senate and the National Assembly respectively. Standing Order No.77(1) of the Senate Standing Orders provides that- “Upon receipt of a notification of nomination for appointment to a public office required to be approved by the Senate under the Constitution or any other legislation, the nomination shall stand committed to the relevant Standing Committee for consideration.” This being the case, the Message from His Excellency the President, together with the CV of the nominee stands committed to the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget for approval hearing. The Committee will hold the approval hearing jointly with the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade of the National Assembly, in accordance with the provision of the Central Bank of Kenya Act, the Pubic Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, and the Standing Orders of the Houses of Parliament. Part 26 is on the Joint Committees of Parliament. The Senate Standing Orders and the corresponding part of the National Assembly Standing Orders shall apply during the approval hearing. I direct the Committees to expeditiously consider this matter and table a report thereon considering the remaining time before the conclusion of the Third Session. I thank you. Hon. Members, that nomination is hereby committed to the Standing Committees as directed. I call Sen. Karungo Thangw’a to make his contributions on the Bill."
