    "content": "1. That, the vetting of the nominees for appointment as members of the Board of the Central Bank of Kenya be conducted by the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning of the National Assembly jointly sitting with the relevant committee of the Senate. 2. That, the quorum of the joint seating 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(vi) of the joint rules, unless a decision is reached by consensus, any vote to be taken in the joint sitting of the committees shall be by separate Houses. This will ensure that the numerical differences of the individual Members representing the Houses in the joint sitting of the committee has no effect on the decision of the joint sittings. 4. That, the joint committee shall, having conducted the vetting hearing, submit a joint report to the respective Houses in the manner contemplated by Paragraph 7 of Rule 9 of the joint rules. 5. That, the approval process should be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Public Appointments Parliamentary Approval Act, Cap 7F. Whereas the Central Bank of Kenya Act (Cap 491) does not provide specific timelines within which the House is to consider the nominees, Section 8 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act (Cap 7F) requires the relevant House to undertake the exercise within 28 days. In this regard, the committees should immediately proceed to commence the approval process, notify the nominees and the general public of the time and place for holding the approval hearings, and thereafter, upon conclusion, table the joint report by Tuesday, 29th April 2025 to enable the Houses of Parliament to consider the matter within the statutory timelines. I thank you."
