    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011 relating to extension of period for consideration of nominees for appointment to a public office, this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of the following nominees submitted by H.E. the President for appointment to the offices of Cabinet and Principal Secretaries by a period of seven (7) days from 25th February, 2020 - (i) Cabinet Secretaries for the Ministries of Health, Industrialisation, Trade and Enterprise Development; and, (ii) Principal Secretaries for the State Departments for Trade, Vocational and Technical Training, Public Service, University Education and Research, Transport, and Physical Planning. Hon. Speaker, the House Business Committee, in its wisdom, in its meeting on 18th February 2020, resolved that this Motion be moved today. As Members are aware, this Message was sent to the House when we were on recess and the Speaker read it when we resumed. The 14-day period under the Act accorded to the House to vet these nominees expire on 25th February 2020 with the committees expected to table their reports before then. That means 25th will be on Tuesday. Notice of Motions must be given. The reports must be tabled. So, the earliest we can debate the reports of the various committees, including the one that the Speaker chairs, will be on Wednesday. The Act says that if we do not vet and approve within 14 days, they are deemed to have been approved. That is why we are asking for seven extra days from 25th, so that we can finish this matter by Wednesday or Thursday next week."
