Members, Section 7 of the National Intelligence Service Act 2012 states that and I quote:- “There shall be a Director-General of the Service who shall, with the approval of the National Assembly, be appointed by the President.” Further, Sub-Section 3 requires that the National Assembly will consider the suitability of the nominee and either approve or reject the appointment within 14 days. On the other hand, Sub-Section 6 and 7 state as follows and I quote:- “If after the expiry of a period of 60 days from the date of the nomination of a person for the appointment as a Director-General under Sub-Section 2, the National Assembly has neither approved nor rejected the nomination of the person, the nominee shall be deemed to have been approved by the National Assembly.” In this regard, hon. Members, this nomination including the curriculum vitae of the nominee now stands referred to the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations for consideration in accordance with the provisions of the National Intelligence Service Act 2012 and the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act 2011. I thank you, hon. Members."
