    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek guidance from the Chair concerning the positions of the Governor and Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). I would like to draw your attention to the CBK Act, Section 13(1), which provides that there should be a Governor who shall be appointed by the President through a transparent and competitive process and with the approval of Parliament. Section 13(b)(1), provides that there shall be two Deputy Governors, who shall be appointed by the President through a transparent and competitive process and with the approval of Parliament. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on 18th June, 2015, the National Assembly debated the report on the approval of nominees and passed it without amendments. The Senate was not involved in the vetting process and approval of the nominees, as required by the Act that I have just quoted. I would like to remind the House that in a similar provision of a statute, a precedent was set by this House and the National Assembly, where the Inspector General of Police was subjected to a Joint Vetting Committee of the two Houses."
