It is about responsibility’’, the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations undertook the solemn task of vetting a nominee destined to serve at the fulcrum of Kenya’s regional engagement within the East African Community. Pursuant to Article 132(2)(e) of the Constitution of Kenya, and in accordance with Section 5 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, Cap. 7F, His Excellency the President transmitted to the National Assembly the nomination of Dr Caroline Karugu for appointment as Principal Secretary for the State Department for East African Community Affairs. In keeping with established parliamentary procedures, the Speaker, acting under Standing Orders 42(2), 45(1), and 216(5)(f), duly referred the nomination to this Committee for vetting and reporting."
