    "content": "On Thursday, 7th March 2019, pursuant to Section 6 (3) of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011, the Clerk, in writing, invited the nominee for the approval hearing indicating the time and place. As a Committee, we received clearance reports for the nominee from EACC, KRA, DCI, HELB and finally the Registrar of Political Parties on 1st March. The Committee held four sittings. The nominee appeared before it on 14th March 2019 and was vetted in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011 and the National Assembly Standing Orders on his suitability or otherwise for the appointment as a CS. I want to mention that the report that we got from KRA was very categorical that they did not have any issue regarding any outstanding tax arrears or tax to be paid. The DCI was also very clear on the criminal record of the nominee. They have nothing in their records to indicate that the nominee has any previously known criminal record. It is the same with EACC which gave opinion that as per that time, they had no recorded case of any investigation regarding the nominee."
