Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 42, I wish to convey a Message from His Excellency the President relating to nomination of a person for appointment as Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Kenya Fish Marketing Authority. In the Message, His Excellency the President conveys that, in exercise of powers conferred by Section 201(1)(a) and (2) of the Fisheries Management and Development Act (No.35 of 2016), as read together with Sections 3 and 5 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011, he nominates Mr. Ochieng Mbeo for appointment as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Kenya Fish Marketing Authority. In this regard, His Excellency the President seeks the approval of this House on the nominee for appointment to the aforementioned position. Standing Order No. 45 requires that, upon receipt of notification of nomination for appointments, such nomination shall stand committed to the relevant Departmental Committee of the House for consideration. Pursuant to the provisions of the said Standing Order, and Paragraph (3) of Standing Order No.42 (Messages from the President), I hereby refer the Message to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock to undertake the necessary approval hearings. The Committee is required to table its Report in the House within 14 days from the date on which the notification was given. Consequently, I wish to guide the Committee and the House as follows: (i) That, the Committee should notify the nominee and the general public of the time and place for holding the approval hearings in good time. The notification should therefore be made on Wednesday, 24th July 2019; and, (ii) The Committee should thereafter commence the necessary approval hearings and submit its Report to the House on or before Thursday, 1st August 2019. I thank you, Hon. Members."
