    "content": "Hon. Members, Section 15 of the Judicial Service Act, 2011 requires the National Assembly to consider the nominees and either approve or reject them within seven days. You will all agree with me that time is too short if, indeed, the National Assembly is to give this process the consideration it requires. However, hon. Members, may I bring to your attention that this House amended the Public Appointments ( Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011in November last year to provide that:- “ Despite the provisions of this Act or any other written law, where a time is prescribed for doing an act or taking a proceeding by the National Assembly relating to a public appointment, the National Assembly may, by resolution, extend that time by a period not exceeding 14 days.” In this regard, the Committee is at liberty to seek an extension of the period prescribed by the Judicial Service Act, 2011, by way of a Motion. I thank you, hon. Members."
