    "content": "According to Article 230 of the Constitution, the nominees to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) go through a process which is similar to that of election by several bodies named under this Article. If you look at Article 171 of the Constitution regarding the constitution of the JSC, the members to the JSC go through a process of election by the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, the High Court, Kenya Magistrates’ and Judges’ Association and the Law Society of Kenya (LSK). The Attorney General is also a Member. If you go to the provisions of Article 250 (2) of the Constitution, you will see the requirements of members who should serve in any constitutional commission. This is what we call Chapter 15 of the commissions which are named under Article 248 of the Constitution. They must go through a process indicated as identification, recommendation, approval by the National Assembly and appointment by the President. Article 248 of the Constitution says: “This Chapter applies to the commissions specified in clause (2) and the independent offices specified in clause (3), except to the extent that this Constitution provides otherwise.” So, being elected by one body is a method of being recommended. There is a clear distinction. Mark the word, “elected”."
