Speaker Justin Muturi, chairman of the Committee on Appointments, said the team would meet Saturday and Sunday and if necessary Monday to write up its report and make recommendations ahead of the resumption of the National Assembly on Tuesday. On the second day of vetting, the nominees laid out their credentials and attempted to beat away claims lodged against them. Ukur Yattani, the nominee for Labour and Social Protection, promised to ensure that the National Social Security Fund Act of 2013 is implemented if he is appointed. Mr Rashid Achesa, the CS nominee for Sports and Heritage was the last to appear before the panel.
