    "content": "Hon. Speaker, in executing our mandate, the Committee was in receipt of your communication. On 2nd December, 2015, in the Message from the President, you informed the House that on 1st December, 2015 the President submitted nominees to the office of Principal Secretary in the respective State Departments as I have just read. The Committee held its sittings on Tuesday, 8th December, 2015 and Thursday 10th December, 2015 to familiarise themselves with the Curriculum Vitae of the nominees and to consider Memoranda received thereof. On Friday 11th December, 2015, the Committee held an approval hearing during which the two nominees appeared and were vetted. In conducting the vetting exercise, the Committee made reference to the Constitution, the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act Cap 136 and our Standing Orders. During the exercise, the nominees made submissions on why they should be appointed for the positions of PSs in their respective ministries. In compliance with the Constitution and other legal requirements and established procedures for vetting, the Committee ensured its meetings were open to the public and covered by the media. The Committee deliberated on the nominees’ bio data, Curriculum Vitae and submissions made by the nominees including the oral submissions during the vetting at the sitting held on the 14th December, 2015. The observations, findings and conclusions guided the Committee in making its final recommendations. The recommendations of the Committee were agreed upon by all the members during the adoption of the Report on 14th December, 2015."
