    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of the nominees for appointment as Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries and members of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), referred to the House during the current third part of the Third Session, by a further seven days from 15th December 2015. The President’s nomination of persons to be appointed as Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) and Principal Secretaries (PSs), under Articles 152(2) and 155(3)(a) and (b), respectively, needs the approval of the National Assembly before appointment. The House Business Committee (HBC), in its meeting on Tuesday, 1st December 2015, envisaged the vetting process to start after the House is notified of the nominations. Indeed, Hon. Speaker, you confirmed this fact through your Communication yesterday, Wednesday, 2nd December 2015. The Clerk has notified the public, through today’s newspapers, to submit any representation by written statement under oath, through an affidavit that they may have on the suitability or otherwise of the said nominees for their respective ministries, within the next seven days, that is, on or before Wednesday, 9th December 2015, at 5.00 p.m. If you bring your representation after 5.00 p.m., it will not be considered because the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act is very strict on the timelines it gives for public participation. The Committees will then consider the memoranda submitted by the general public by Thursday, 10th December 2015. The CS nominees are expected to appear before the Committee on Appointments while the PS nominees are expected to appear before the relevant Departmental Committees on Friday, 11th December 2015, on the venues and times as indicated in today’s newspapers, for vetting. The nominees are expected to bring with them original documents such as identity cards, academic and professional certificates as well as letters or certificates of compliance from the EACC, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and any of the credit reference bureaus.
