    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011, relating to extension of period for consideration of nominees for appointment to a public office, this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of the nominee submitted by H.E. the President for appointment to the Office of Solicitor-General by a further period of ten (10) days from 7thMarch, 2018. Hon. Speaker, following the alteration of the calendar of this House, which was just adopted a few minutes ago, it is important to note that the timeline for the consideration of the Report will be expiring on 7th March 2018, which will be next week. This will coincide with the short recess. It is for this simple reason that I am moving this Motion to extend the period for a further 10 days. In addition, the extension will allow the relevant Committee to do the following: Have adequate time to vet the nominee and carry out public participation and thereafter table the report in the House for consideration and approval. Hon. Speaker, this is basic. The Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs will do the public vetting of Mr. Ogeto, a nominee to the Office of the Solicitor-General. This Committee was to table this report on Tuesday next week and of course then the HBC would slate it for debate maybe the following day on Wednesday. However, because we will be in Mombasa and the House will not be in session, and in conformity with Section 13 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, I am seeking for an extension of 10 days just to make sure that the Committee does the vetting and report writing tomorrow, and on Tuesday 13th March when we are back, tables it and allows the HBC to give time for the report to be debated and considered. So, it is a very simple matter. I beg to move and ask the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, who is the owner of this “baby”, to second."
