    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 200, be amended- (m) In the amendments relating to the First Schedule, by deleting the proposed amendment and inserting the following new amendment - Insert the following proviso immediately after subparagraph 2(1)- `Provided that if the President refuses or fails to appoint the person recommended by the Advisory Board within fourteen days of the recommendations, the appointment shall be deemed to have been made upon expiration of that period'. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on this Item \"m\", we are proposing--- If you can remember, sometimes ago, we debated at length the issue of the appointment of the Director and Assistant Directors to Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC). When that was done here and the names taken to the President, one name was rejected. What we are proposing here is to make the appointment of the Director and his assistants merely ceremonial on the part of the President, so that once Parliament has decided--- There is no point to bring those issues to Parliament to be discussed and then, taken to another institution and rejected. So, we are proposing that, for example, in the case of Dr. Julius Rotich, whose appointment was rejected, there should have been no opportunity to reject and, within fourteen days, the appointment should have been automatic. I beg to move. September 13, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3929"
