    "content": "the Message relating to appointment of persons to the offices of the Commission on Administrative Justice to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to undertake the necessary approval hearings, while the nomination of the Chairperson of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission will stand referred to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. Section 7(11) of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission Act, 2011 and Section 11(7) of the Commission on Administrative Justice Act, 2011, requires the National Assembly to either approve or reject the nominees to the respective positions within 14 days and 21 days respectively. In this regard, I wish to guide the two Departmental Committees and the House as follows: That the Committees should notify the nominees and the general public of the time and place for holding the approval hearings, in good time. The notification should therefore be made on Thursday, 28th June 2018; and, That the Committees should thereafter commence the necessary approval hearings and submit their respective reports to the House within the statutory timelines. Following a House Business Committee resolution on Tuesday, 26th June 2018, the Leader of the Majority Party is to give notice of Motion seeking to alter the Calendar of the House so that the House proceeds on recess on from 6th July 2018. With this and hoping the House agrees with the proposal, the period set by law for approval hearings will lapse while the House is on short recess. The Committees are therefore at liberty to seek extension of the approval hearings from the House as they find appropriate. I thank you. Hon. George Theuri."
