    "content": "The others on the list were:- (1) Rose Ndeto; and, (2) Sheila M’mbijiwe. Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 11(1), 13 and 13(b) of the CBK Act, the President, out of the above recommended persons thereupon nominated the following persons for consideration for appointment for the positions indicated below:- (1) Mr. Jairus Mohammed Nyaoga as Chairperson; (2) Dr. Patrick Njoroge as the Governor; and, (3) Mrs. Sheila Mmbijewe as the Deputy Governor. In view of the foregoing, the Committee resolved that due process had been followed in the nomination of the candidates. The Committee confirmed that due process, up to the level where we are vetting, was followed. The law requires that all the nominees for public service appointments are cleared by our security agencies, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). On 3rd June, 2015, the Clerk of the National Assembly wrote to the nominees informing them of their nomination by His Excellency the President and requested them to appear for vetting by the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade on 16th June, 2015. He further requested the nominees to bring with them clearance certificates from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), KRA, HELB, CID and any of the credit reference bureaus. I wish to confirm to the House that all of them were cleared by the relevant agencies. We did not have any issue with the KRA, CID and the other agencies clearing them. The Committee met with the nominees on 16th June, 2015 and conducted approval hearings. I want to inform the House that even before then, we held a meeting to prepare ourselves for that approval hearing. During the process, the Committee was guided by the Constitution, the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, the CBK Act, the Standing Orders and other relevant statutes. Specifically, the nominees were examined on the following criteria as set out in the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act No.33 of 2011:- 1) academic qualifications; 2) employment record; 3) professional affiliations; 4) potential conflict of interest; 5) knowledge of the relevant subject; and, 6) integrity.
