Members, in accordance with the provisions of Standing Order No.42(1), I wish to convey a Message from His Excellency the President regarding the proposed appointment of a member of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights. The Message reads and I quote:- “Pursuant to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights Act No.14 of 2011, I have nominated Dr. Samuel Njuguna Kabue for appointment as a Member of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights. The nominee is physically challenged and his appointment will ensure equity in the Commission as per Article 54 (2) of the Constitution.” Hon. Members, Section 11(7) of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights Act No.14 of 2011requires the National Assembly to consider the nominee within 21 days. Further, our own Standing Order No.45 requires that upon receipt of a notification of nomination for appointment to a State office or other office as is under the Constitution or under any other legislation, it is required to be approved by the House. The nomination shall stand committed to the relevant Departmental Committee of the House for consideration. In this regard, this Message together with the curriculum vitae stand committed to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to undertake the necessary approval hearings and submit their report to the House on or before 5th March, 2015. Thank you."
