Deputy Speaker, the nominees appeared before our Committee and we vetted them. This was after the names were brought to us after the Speaker of the National Assembly read a Communication from His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya on 4th October 2016. We went ahead to approve them. The nominees appeared before the Committee on Friday, 14th October, 2016. The Committee vetted them based on the criterion that is set out in Section 11 of the Central Bank Act of Kenya and the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act 2011. The nominees were interviewed on their educational background, relevant experience, recruitment process and leadership and integrity. The Committee further requested the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and the Credit Reference Bureau for clearances. None of the clearing institutions raised any objections for the appointment of the nominees on the basis of non-compliance."
