    "content": "(5) As stipulated in Article 75(1) of the Constitution, all the nominees indicated that they have no potential conflict of interest. (6) All the nominees satisfied the requirements of Article 77(1) of the Constitution in that they do not to participate in any other gainful employment. (7) All the nominees do not hold office in any political party hence satisfied the provisions of Article 77(2) of the Constitution. Hon. Munya has resigned as the party leader of the Party of National Unity (PNU). Hon. Ukur Yatani has resigned as the party leader of the Frontier Party of Kenya. The rest did not have any political affiliation. (8) None of the nominees have been dismissed from office under Article 75 of the Constitution for contravening Article 75(1) on conflict of interest, Article 76 on financial probity, Article 77 on restriction on activities of State officers, Article 78(2) on dual citizenship by the Constitution. They are therefore, in the honest opinion of the Committee chaired by the Speaker, fit to hold office as the CSs. (9) Finally, the Committee found all the nominees have exhibited impressive knowledge and understanding of issues relating to the dockets they have been nominated for appointment. Those were the observations. In accordance with the Standing Orders, under your leadership, all the provisions of law in the Constitution, in the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act and, in the Standing Orders were fulfilled; timelines were respected. That is why we asked for an extension of two days yesterday. I am sure the Report which was tabled before this House has been considered within law. All the nominees have complied the two-thirds gender rule and tax compliance law. In as far as the law is concerned, they have no criminal record. They have exhibited all the knowledge and understating. I am wondering why some of our colleagues are not here. You know the people of Kenya have been good to us as the Jubilee Party; they have been good to us because they have elected our President and Deputy President. They have given us the numbers in both Houses and I am sure we are up to the task to comply with Standing Orders. In conclusion and recommendations, I urge Members to read the comprehensive Report of the Committee on Appointments in order to fully appreciate and enrich the debate. I further urge the Members to approve the appointment of the following persons as CSs in their respective ministries: Prof. Margaret Kobia, Hon. John Munyes, Amb. (Dr.) Monica Juma, Ms. Farida Karoney, Hon. Peter Munya, Mr. Keriako Tobiko, Mr. Simon Chelugui, Hon. Ukur Yatani and, finally, the great man of the day – Rashid Echesa Muhamed."
