    "content": "The Committee also noted that the various Credit Reference Bureaus (CRBs) have issued individual nominees with clearance certificates confirming that all the nominees have complied with their loan repayment terms and are not listed by the bureaus as defaulters. Hon. Speaker, the Committee adhered to Section 7 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, Cap.136 which provide that the issues for consideration by the relevant House in relation to any nomination shall be:- 1. the procedure used to arrive at the nominee; 2. any constitutional or statutory requirements relating to the office in question; and, 3. the suitability of the nominee for appointment proposed having regard to whether the nominee’s abilities, experience and qualities meet the needs of the body to which nomination is being made. Further, Section 6(10) of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, Cap. 136 provide that a candidate may at any time, by notice in writing addressed to the Clerk, withdraw from the approval process. Hon. Speaker, by close of business on 9th December, 2015, the Committee had received four submissions against the approval for appointment of the following persons:- 1. The nominee for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. 2. The nominee for Energy and Petroleum. 3. The nominee for Devolution and Planning. 4. The nominee for Health. However, the Committee found the above nominees suitable for the appointment of Cabinet Secretaries as the affidavits submitted were largely un-substantiated or casted aspersions on the veracity of the affidavit, or were withdrawn by the same petitioners, or did not touch on the issues referred to Section 6(7) of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act. There were no memoranda submitted in respect of the following persons:- 1. The nominee for Mining. 2. The nominee for Information, Communication and Technology. 3. The nominee for Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs. Hon. Speaker, the Committee considered the nominees filled Questionnaires pursuant to Section 6 (8) of Public Appointments Act, their curricula vitae and having heard their oral submissions during the vetting exercise/interview, made the following observations:- (i) That, all the nominees satisfy the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution of Kenya on leadership and integrity having been cleared by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), Directorate of DCI, Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) and the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB).
