    "content": "Hon. Members, the next Message being No. 6 of 2016 from the President is on the appointment of members to the Central Bank of Kenya Board. Hon. Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 42(1) relating to Messages from the President, I wish to inform the House that I have received a Message from His Excellency the President regarding the appointment of members to the Central Bank of Kenya Board. The Message conveys that the following persons have been nominated for appointment as members to the Central Bank of Kenya Board:- (i) Mr. Ravi Ruparel, (ii) Mrs. Nelius Kariuki, (iii)Mr. Samson K. Cherutich, (iv) Ms. Charity Seleina Kisotu; and, (v) Mrs. Rachel Bessie Dzombo. Hon. Members, Section 11(2) of the Central Bank of Kenya Act requires that in making appointment of Board members to Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), the appointing authority shall seek parliamentary approval. Section 5 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011 provides that an appointing authority shall, upon nominating a person for an appointment to which the Act applies, notify the relevant House of Parliament accordingly. Consequently, a proper notification in line with the above provision has been received. Since the Central Bank of Kenya Act does not provide specific timelines for the consideration of the nominations, it follows that Section 8(1) of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011 comes into effect. For the avoidance of doubt, this section states that:- “Unless otherwise provided in any law, a Committee shall consider a nomination and table its report in the relevant House for debate and decision The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
