    "content": "On 8th June 2017, through print media, the Clerk of the National Assembly notified the general public. On 7th June 2017, the Clerk wrote to the nominee. On 13th June 2017, we were able to vet him. We found out that during the interview, there were 11 persons. Out of the 11, only seven had attended the interview and Saitoti Kimerei emerged the winner having scored 79.1 points. When we vetted him for the position of Director-General, we noticed that he had passed all the tests. On his education background, he holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in International Relations. He is pursuing a Master’s degree now. He has a diploma too and a wealth of experience. He has headed the intelligence and policy development of Financial Reporting Centre. He has also participated in the national taskforce on anti-money laundering. Between 2006 and 2009, he was the National Intelligence Service (NIS) representative to the National Task Force on Anti-Money Laundering. He has also consulted for the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and he has participated in Eastern and Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group (ESAMLG) topology project. He has never been dismissed from any service. He has never participated in any charity or pro bono work. He is a Kenyan citizen who is all right. Having conducted the approval hearing for the nominee in accordance with Article 118 of the Constitution, the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2009, the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, and the Standing Orders, this Committee, therefore, recommends that the National Assembly approves the nomination of Saitoti Kimerei Maika as the Director-General of the Financial Reporting Center pursuant to Section 25 of the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2009. He is the nominee we vetted and I want to confirm to this House that he has vast knowledge when it comes to money laundering issues, especially now that he worked for the NIS. He has also consulted for COMESA and has done quite a lot. He is a Kenyan and Maasai by origin. He is 47 years of age. I think he will make a good Director-General."
