    "content": " Mr. Chairman, Sir, could I be of assistance? I thank you for raising this matter because it is important. The approval for the people we are talking about is provided for in Article 245. Article 245 is talking about the approval of Parliament. Parliament is defined in the Article that my good friend read, Article 86. If you look at Article 93 at page 63, it reads: “There is established a Parliament of Kenya, which shall consist of the National Assembly and the Senate. The National Assembly and the Senate shall perform their respective functions in accordance with this Constitution”. But approvals are under Article 124 (4) at the top of page 78. I am just trying to demonstrate that you are right; the Constitution contemplates, “When a House of Parliament considers any appointment for which its approval is required under this Constitution or an Act of Parliament – (a) the appointment shall be considered by a committee of the relevant House.” So, the design of this particular Act is to require approval of the Inspector-General and his deputy by the National Assembly and not by the Senate."
