Upon conclusion, of the interview process the Committee retreated to consider the applicants who had appeared before the Committee. I am happy to report that all the 32 applicants who were invited to appear before the interview panel appeared without exception. The only thing that happened was that some of those who were to appear on Friday requested an extension of time to appear on Monday, and the Committee graciously granted their requests.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish hon. Mbadi was in our Committee. This is a matter that engaged the Committee for a whole day – we were discussing the constitutionality of this particular law. As you know, sometime last year we went for a retreat to Mombasa with the then commissioners of the NCIC and a number of proposals were made for the amendment of this Act. Unfortunately, we were not able to bring that to the House because their terms lapsed and they ceased to be commissioners over nine months ago. So, effectively there was no Commission and there ...

Hon. Speaker, I thought hon. Mbadi had read our Report and that is why I went through it in a summary form. Again, there were no issues that were controversial. This was a fairly straightforward matter which we disposed of in the best interests of this country. Since every Member has requested to know under what provision of the law we proceeded, if you look at our Report on Page 6, Paragraph 2 states thus: “The National Cohesion and Integration Commission is established pursuant to provisions of Section 15(1) of the Act which states as follows: “There is established a ...

Section 18 provides for the procedure of filling these positions. That is what guided the Committee in deliberating and resolving all the outstanding issues that were there. What we are expected to do is clearly enumerated in our Report. The Clerk of the National Assembly was supposed to originate an advertisement in three public dailies with wide national circulation, which he did. This is a requirement of Section 18 of the Act. Once that was done, the provisions of the Standing Orders then kicked in. We had seven days within which to interview and recommend nominees to the Assembly. The ...
