Parliament is today scheduled to consider the report on the vetting of the Cabinet Secretary nominees.
The Committee on Appointments concluded Tuesday the writing of the final report ahead of its tabling on the floor of the House Wednesday.
The vetting of the 20 nominees ended Sunday after a four-day exercise that saw five nominees appear on each day for grilling on their suitability for the position.
The report to be tabled on the floor of the House will contain recommendations on each of the nominees and also the minority report.
Once tabled, the plenary can debate on the report and later conduct a vote on each of the nominees to either approve or reject.
Reports indicate that the majority of committee members agreed to approve all the nominees for appointment.
National Assembly Speaker Speaker Moses Wetang'ula who chairs the committee stated that they received over 1,300 submissions from Kenyans who raised issues with some of the CS nominees.
Hundreds of them, he said, were rejected as they contained insults against the nominees while others were repetitive.
Those who presented the petitions also failed to adhere to the stipulated submission process of an affidavit on why they are opposed to the nomination of some individuals.
The tabling of the report will be introduced as a special motion under the National Assembly’s Standing Order No. 61.
The motion to be disposed of by the speaker will seek the resolution of the House to approve an appointment in accordance with Part XI of the approval of public appointments.
Parliament has 28 days from the date on which the notification of nomination was given to dispense the matter.
If by the lapse of this period, the House will not have approved or rejected a nomination of a candidate, then the candidate shall be deemed to have been approved.
Once approved, the names will be forwarded to the president for appointment.
The swearing-in of the nominees is likely to be done Friday should parliament conclude the process Thursday.
If a nominee is rejected, the president is required to submit a new nominee.
