    "content": "(d) the Independent Policing Oversight Authority; (e) the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights; (f) the National Gender and Equality Commission; and, (g) the Law Society of Kenya. (2) The Public Service Commission shall— (a) convene the first meeting of the selection panel, at which the members of the selection panel shall elect a chairperson from among their numbers; and, (b) provide the selection panel with such facilities and other support as it may require for the discharge of its functions. (3) The selection panel shall, within seven days of its convening, by advertisement in at least two daily newspapers of national circulation, invite applications from persons who qualify for nomination and appointment as the Inspector-General. (4) The selection panel shall— (a) consider the applications received under subsection (3) to determine their compliance with the provisions of the Constitution and this Act; (b) shortlist the applicants; (c) publish the names of the shortlisted applicants and the qualified applicants in at least two daily newspapers of national circulation; (d) conduct public interviews of the shortlisted persons; (e) shortlist three qualified applicants; and, (f) forward the names of the qualified persons under paragraph (e) to the President. (5) The President shall, within fourteen days of receipt of the names of successful applicants forwarded under subsection (4) (f), nominate a person for appointment as the Inspector-General and submit the name of the nominee to Parliament.” Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is to ensure that the process of replacing the Inspector-General is as transparent as possible, and avoid situations where the appointing authority may misuse his or her powers to appoint inappropriate persons to that office. We have involved many public bodies, including the National Police Service Commission and the commissions that are mentioned in the amendment. So, I believe that the amendment is quite okay."
