The National Assembly Committee on Appointments has less than 14 days to draft and table its report on the cabinet nominees who they vetted this week.
The Moses Wetangula led committee has retreated to draft a report to be debated, considered and voted on in the National Assembly as required by the Public Appointments Parliamentary Approval Act of 2011.
After a rigorous five-day vetting process of 24 nominees to the Cabinet, 22 as Cabinet Secretaries, one as Prime Cabinet Secretary and one as Secretary to the Cabinet.
The 15-member committee on Appointments of the National Assembly concluded the exercise on Saturday.
The last to appear was the Secretary to the Cabinet nominee Mercy Wanjau with Legislators now retreating to review the performance of the interviewees.
According to the Public Appointments Parliamentary Approval Act 201 Article 8 subsection (2), “At the conclusion of an approval hearing, the Committee shall prepare its report on the suitability of the candidate to be appointed to the office to which the candidate has been nominated, and shall include in the report, such recommendations as the Committee may consider necessary.”
Lawmakers in the National Assembly will then debate, consider or even review and vote on the report.
If approved, the report will then be presented to the President for appointment and swearing in of the new Cabinet.
