    "content": "This will ensure that the Commission achieves its objectives. We held four meetings during approval process in which we met the nominees, interviewed them and examined their documents. The nominees appeared for vetting on 23rd June, 2016. The Clerk of the National Assembly wrote to the nominees informing them of their nomination by the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the National Treasury and requested them to appear for vetting by the Parliamentary Committee on 23rd as I mentioned earlier. On 15th June, the Clerk of the National Assembly as required by law, wrote to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and Criminal Investigation Department (CID) requesting for tax, loans, integrity and criminal records status respectively of the nominees. By the time the Committee was compiling the Report, KRA had responded to the Committee clearing all the nominees for being tax compliant. HELB, CID and the EACC did not respond to the Committee’s request, Hon. Speaker. This again boils down to what I said yesterday, that it would be very good to consider an amendment to the Public Approval Act, so that we extend time which is available for vetting of the nominees."
