    "content": "No.71 of the Senate, this House approves the Joint Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security of the National Assembly and the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations of the Senate on the nomination of Mr. Hilary Nzioki Mutyambai, for appointment to the position of Inspector General of the National Police Service laid on the Table of the Senate on Tuesday, 2nd April, 2019. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Judith Pareno will second this Motion. On the 19th and 20th March, 2019, the Speaker of the National Assembly Mr. Justin Bedan Muturi and the Speaker of the Senate Rt. Hon. Kenneth Masika Lusaka respectively, conveyed to the respective Houses a Message from His Excellency the President Uhuru Kenyatta that one Hilary Nzioki Mutyambai had been nominated to serve in the position of the Inspector General (IG) of the National Police Service (NPS). Mr. Speaker, Sir, this nomination was pursuant to the provisions of Article 245 (2)(a) of the Constitution and in compliance with the procedure that has been set out under Section 12(2) of the National Police Service Act (2011). That provision, in fact, is the only one of our laws that specifically gives the Senate an opportunity to participate in vetting of public and state officers. It is something that gives us the thought that more provisions like those need to be put in the Constitution."
