    "content": "Manoah has 20 years working experience, Mr. Ahenda has 34 years working experience, Mr. Oginga Ogego has 18 years working experience, Mr. Ondieki has 34 years working experience, Mr. Karumba has 40 years working experience and Mr. Langat has 15 years working experience. Mr. Langat is the youngest at 42 years. I just want to say that the nominees are people who have served in public office in this country for long and they all meet the requirements as stipulated in law. I just want to highlight one thing, during the window of public participation as required by the Constitution and by the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, Parliament advertised and gave the public a chance to participate. We only received two memoranda that were contesting the suitability of one nominee, Mr. Ndegwa Muhoro. There were no other memoranda against other nominees. One of the memoranda that was sent was dismissed because it arrived past the deadline. It came when the nominee was already vetted by the Committee. There was one by Ahmed Abdulaziz Nassir and we agreed as a Committee that the memoranda lacked merit and, therefore, it was not adopted. Therefore, on behalf of the Committee, I would like to present that in accordance with Article 78 (1) and (2) of the Constitution all nominees are Kenyan citizens and none of them holds dual citizenship. They all have impressive academic credentials, professional training and experience as required by the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act. All nominees were cleared by the relevant authorities. None of them has been convicted in a court of law or adversely mentioned by a parliamentary committee or commission of inquiry. There is no potential conflict of interest. They do not intend to participate in any other gainful employment. None of them is an official of any political party. Therefore, it is the view of the Committee to persuade this House to approve the names. With those remarks, I beg to move and request the Member for Belgut, Hon. Koech, to second."
