"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, according to Article 246(2) and 166(2) of the Constitution, it was mandatory that because of the quasi-judicial functions of the position of Chair, at least, one of the lawyers should have been recommended for appointment. These lawyers who impressed the Committee during the vetting exercise were: Jean N. Kamau, Murshid A. Mohammed, Ms. Margaret K. Cheboywo, Mr. Ben Mwangi Mbai and Mr. Byram Ongaya. These are the lawyers who appeared before the panelists and were ranked accordingly. Out of the five lawyers, the one who emerged top was Jean N. Kamau followed by Murshid A. Mohammed. The Committee could not understand why none of these very qualified lawyers was forwarded to the appointing authority for nomination and subsequent forwarding to Parliament."
