    "content": "- Member. I wish to confirm to this House that, as I tabled the Report earlier today, the Committee sat down earlier this week on 9th October 2025 and conducted the vetting exercise. The Committee made its observations on the suitability of the nominees. I wish to confirm to this House that the nominees – the Vice-Chair of the Public Service Commission and the members – are suitable for the positions. They are Kenyan citizens, and they do not hold dual citizenship. The nominees presented their academic credentials and professional certificates during the approval hearings. I am confirming to the Hon. Members that they are well-educated, and the Committee has noted that. None of the nominees holds an office in any political party. We ascertained that none of the nominees held a political party office, contested for any elective position, or was dismissed from office under Article 75 of the Constitution. The nominees met the requirements of Chapter 6 of the Constitution on Leadership and Integrity, having obtained clearance from the Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission (EACC), the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI); the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP); and the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). The nominees demonstrated an impressive grasp of topical, administrative and technical issues in the Office of the Vice-Chairperson and a member of the Public Service Commission. It is good to note that most of these nominees are people who previously served in Government and have vast experience.
