Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 42(1) of the National Assembly Standing Orders, I wish to report to the House that I have received a Message from His Excellency the President, seeking the National Assembly’s approval of the nominee for appointment as Chairperson of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). In the Message, His Excellency the President conveys that, in exercise of powers vested on him under Article 215(2)(a) of the Constitution and pursuant to the provisions of Sections (3) and (5) of the Parliamentary Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011, he has nominated Dr. Jane W. Kiringai for appointment as the Chairperson of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). Hon. Members, Section 8 of the said Act provides that the relevant Committee of the House will consider the suitability or otherwise of the nominee and table its report for consideration by the House within 14 days from the date when the notification of nomination is conveyed to the House. Further, the Act requires that the public be given seven (7) days notification to submit their views regarding the suitability or otherwise of the nominee proposed for appointment to an office requiring parliamentary approval. In this regard, and in accordance with the provisions of Article 259(5)(a) of the Constitution as read together with Section 5 of the said Act, the seven days notification to the public shall start running on the day following the day when the notice is published in the dailies. Hon. Members, given the critical role played by the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) within the framework of issues of Division of Revenue, which are currently under consideration within the budget process, it is advisable that the concerned Committee expeditiously proceeds to notify the nominee and the public. Indeed, it should be noted that the 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."
