    "content": "Korea on 6th June 2019, the House approved the nominee to Seoul in South Korea of Ms. Mwende Mwinzi, subject to her renouncing citizenship to the United States of America (USA) in compliance with the provisions of Article 80(c) of the Constitution and Sections 31 and 52 of the Leadership and Integrity Act, No.19 of 2012, upon appointment and before taking office. Information available is that the same nominee intends to take up the appointment without renouncing her citizenship to the USA notwithstanding the conditions set by this House. Therefore, I request that you order the Chairpersons of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations and the Committee on Implementation to confirm this fact and inform this House the actions they intend to take on the same. I further want to invite you, Hon. Speaker, to give guidance on the matter and give the way forward regarding approval of appointments with such conditions. If the nominees to the offices of chairperson and members of NLC that you have referred to Departmental Committee on Lands have a similar condition, will it be best to reject their appointment instead of giving a conditional approval? Thank you."
