    "content": "Pursuant to the provisions of Article 171(2)(c) and Article 250(2)(b) of the Constitution, read together with Sections 3 and 5 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act of 2011, His Excellency the President vide a letter dated 13th March 2018, forwarded to you Hon. Speaker, a notification of nominations containing the name of Hon. Warsame as a nominee for appointment as a Member of JSC. On 20th March, 2018, you conveyed the message from the President. According to Standing Order No. 42(1), the nominee thereafter was committed to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for vetting. Section 8 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act gave the Committee a timeline of fourteen days to vet the nominee and report back to this House. As required under Article 118 of the Constitution and Section 6(9) of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act 2011, which requires mandatory public participation, the Clerk through an advertisement in the dailies invited the public to submit memoranda by way of statements of oath contesting suitability of the nominee to be appointed as a member of the JSC. The fourteen days’ timeline within which the Committee was to table the Report was to expire when this House was on short recess. In this regard, the Committee sought and obtained the extension of time from the House by a further 14 days, thereby setting the new deadline to submit the Report to the House on 17th April 2018. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
