    "content": "Pursuant to Section 7 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011, the Committee considered various issues during the approval hearing. First, the Committee considered the procedure used to arrive at the nominee. The Committee observed that Article 152(2) of the Constitution provides that nomination of Cabinet Secretaries is a constitutional prerogative of the President, and there is no other procedure prescribed in the Constitution or any statute law. The President has express prerogative to appoint whoever he thinks can hold the position of a Cabinet Secretary. In addition, the Constitution sets out certain requirements regarding the appointment of persons to public office. Article 27(8) of the Constitution provides that the State shall take legislative and other measures to implement the principle that not more than two-thirds of the members of elective or appointive bodies shall be of the same gender."
