Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, to ensure that each House complies with the stipulated timelines, Clause 9 of the Bill provides that after the expiry of the period of consideration and Parliament has neither approved nor rejected the nomination of candidates, the candidates shall be deemed to have been approved for appointment. Further, if either House of Parliament has neither approved nor rejected nomination of candidate, that House shall be deemed to have approved the nomination of the candidate and the other House shall proceed accordingly. The Bill also clarifies that a candidate shall be deemed to be approved if the nomination is approved by both Houses. Therefore, if one House rejects a candidate, that nomination is deemed to have been rejected by both Houses. As a result, the nominating panel will be required to submit a fresh name for approval. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one of the consequences of this Bill will be the recognition of the role of the Senate in all important processes of parliamentary approval of public appointments. By entrenching the vital role of the Senate in approval, the Bill will bring clarity in the procedure to be followed in due approvals such as the approval of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to move. I request Sen. Elachi who is our Majority Whip to second this particular Bill. I thank you."
