    "content": "publicize and set standards relevant in the quality of university education, including the promotion and support of internationally recognized standards.” The new sub-section provides that the CUE can promote and support internationally recognized standards. Taking cognizance of this, the recognition of academic qualification from Washington International University by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) falls under internationally recognized standards and can, therefore, be recognized in Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, these observations guided the Joint Committee in making its final recommendation, which is solely based on evidence and information from the proceedings of the Committee during the vetting exercise. The Joint Committee recommends that having considered the suitability, capacity and integrity of the nominee and pursuant to Article 245(2)(a) of the Constitution and Section 8(2) of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act No.33 of 2011, the Committee recommends that Parliament approves the nomination and subsequent appointment of Mr. Joseph Kipchirchir Boinett to the position of the IG of the NPS. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Joint Committee wishes to thank the Office of the Speakers and Clerks of both Houses of Parliament for the logistical support accorded to it during the vetting exercise. The Committee is also grateful to the media for their live coverage of the proceedings of the Committee, thus enabling accountability and transparency of the vetting. I wish to add that there was no time when the Committee voted on their deliberations as reported by some of the newspapers. I would like to commend DailyNation and The Standard newspapers for reporting factually what transpired at the end of our meeting. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Committee and pursuant to Article 245(2)(a) of the Constitution, Section 8(1) of the Schedule to the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, No.33 of 2011, it is my pleasant duty to table the Report of the Joint Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security of the National Assembly and the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations of the Senate on the vetting of the nomination of Mr. Joseph Kipchirchir Boinett to the position of IG of the NPS for debate and adoption by the Senate and request this House to adopt the Report of the Joint Committee, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 3rd March, 2015. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your permission, I call upon Sen. Fatuma Dullo to Second this Motion. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
