"content": "Let me explain, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I have dropped my new amendments to the Schedule. In most of the instances we were in concurrence with the Committee. I have talked to Mr. Ngugi and I have a further amendment to his amendment. Rather than the recruitment process being done by the Public Service Commission and because the Minister himself talks of devolving power even further, selection will be done by a panel that will be formed from statutory bodies such as the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), the Revenue Allocation Commission (RAC), the Law of Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Association of Local Government Authorities of Kenya (ALGAK). They will make two nominations each to Parliament. Parliament will vet ten nominees and select five out of the ten. Then those five who are selected will be forward to the President. This will be the selecting panel that will shortlist and interview candidates. Once they get the names, they will submit them to the president to make nominations and Parliament will approve them. So, that is the input of my amendment to Mr. Ngugiâs amendment. We have discussed exhaustively even with some five or six hon. Members of his Committee and they are in concurrence. I also want to specify that we have shortened the process and now it will only take 28 days to appoint members of the Authority."
