    "content": "Hon. Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 42(1), I wish to inform the House that I have received a Message from His Excellency the President regarding the nomination of persons for appointment as members of the Board of the Central Bank of Kenya. In the Message, His Excellency, the President, conveys that in excise of the powers conferred by the provisions of Section 11(2) of the Central Bank of Kenya Act (Cap 491), he has nominated the following four persons for appointment as members of the Board of the Central Bank of Kenya and seeks approval by Parliament: 1. F CPA Sophie Muturi. 2. CPA Abdullahi Mohamed Abdi. 3. Ms Beatrice Kosgei; and, 4. Mr David Simpson Osawa Owour. Hon. Members, you may wish to note that approval of the appointment of members of the Central Bank of Kenya Board is one of the exceptions where the law prescribes approval of nominees by Parliament. Specifically, Section 11(2) of the Central Bank of Kenya Act, Cap 491 states that, and I quote: “The chairperson and director shall be appointed by the President with the approval of Parliament.” In this regard, the nomination for appointment is to be considered by the two Houses of Parliament. The established practice in similar instances is that the relevant committees of the two Houses undertake the approval hearings jointly and report back to the respective Houses. Therefore, in keeping with this practice, I hereby refer the Message from His Excellency the President together with the CVs and other testimonials of the nominees to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and direct: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
