The law provides that the President shall appoint the Chief Justice and deputy chief justice in accordance with the JSC recommendations and subject to the approval of the National Assembly.
“The president therefore seeks the approval of the National Assembly on the said nomination,” Speaker Justin Muturi informed members on Wednesday.
He directed the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee chaired by Kangema MP Muturi Kigano to conduct the vetting and report the findings to the House within 28 days.
Muturi asked the committee to notify the nominee and the general public – immediately – of the date and place of the approval hearings.
“The committee should thereafter commence the necessary approval hearings and submit a report on or before May 25 for debate and decision by the House.”
Muturi said that although the committee has 28 days to provide a report, the team was requested to consider the nomination on a priority basis.
“The committee is requested to consider the nomination on a priority basis,” he said.
