    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 10 of the Bill be amended – (a) by renumbering the existing clause as subclause (1); (b) in subclause (1) by deleting the word “may” appearing after the words “appointing authority” and substituting therefor the word “shall”; (c) by inserting the following new subclause immediately after subclause (1) – (2) A nominating authority shall not resubmit the name of a candidate whose nomination has been rejected by the County Assembly unless the circumstances relied on for the rejection of the appointment of the candidate did not exist or ceased to exist at the time of rejecting the nomination of the candidate. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the rationale is that we want to make it mandatory for the appointing authority to submit the name of another candidate where the county assembly rejects the proposed nomination. The provision as currently phrased does not make it mandatory, but leaves it to the discretion of the nominating authority. I also propose a new subclause (2) which seeks to ensure that the nominating authority does not submit the name of a candidate whose nomination has been rejected by the county assembly. This is to ensure that there is integrity in the process and it is concluded as quickly as possible. However, the provision makes an exception where a nominating authority may resubmit the name where the circumstances of the rejection are nonexistent or had ceased to exist at the time of rejecting the nomination."
