Members of the National Assembly's Committee on Appointments are today set to convene to write the final report on the Cabinet Secretary nominees.

This follows the conclusion of the four-day vetting exercise which commenced last Thursday.

The report to be tabled on the floor of the House Tuesday ahead of the debate will contain recommendations on each of the nominees.

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.

If a nominee is rejected, the president is required to submit a new nominee.

Olympic Games

Kenya hopes to have its first gold medal today when World record holder Faith Kipyegon competes in the 5,000m finals.

Others in the race are Beatrice Chebet and Margaret Chelimo.

It is set to 10:15 pm.

Other events lined up for today are the women’s 800m final planned for 10:47 pm that will feature Mary Moraa and the Men's 3,000M steeplechase heats at 8pm.

Amos Serem, Abraham Kibiwot and Simon Koech are Kenya's athletes in the race.

Waititu graft case

The Sh588milliom graft case facing former Kiambu County Chief Ferdinand Waititu, his wife Susan Wangari and others will proceed today for hearing.

The prosecution closed its case last year after calling 32 witnesses.

Anti-Corruption Magistrate Thomas Nzyuki found the accused persons had a case to answer and subsequently placed them on their defence.
