President William Ruto’s Solicitor General nominee Shadrack Mose will today know his fate.
National Assembly’s Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs chaired by George Murugara is set to move a motion seeking to have him approved.
The report by the Committee was tabled on the floor of the House on March 1 following the conclusion of the vetting process.
Mose was nominated for the position by the President through a letter addressed to National Assembly on February 13.
“That, taking into consideration the findings of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs in its report on the vetting of a nominee for the appointment as the Solicitor General of the Republic of Kenya, laid on the Table of the House on March 01, 2023, and pursuant to the provisions of section 9 of the Office of Attorney General Act, 2012 and section 8 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011, this House approves the appointment of Shadrack John Mose as the Solicitor-General,” reads the motion as slotted on the order paper.
If the MPs approved his nomination, the former Kitutu Masaba legislator will replace Ken Ogeto who was appointed to the position in March 2018 by retired President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Mose holds a Post-Graduate Diploma in Law, from the Kenya School of Law, as well as a Laws Degree from the University of Nairobi.
He is an advocate of the High Court of Kenya with over 29 years of experience in legal practice.
When he appeared before the committee on February 23, Mose rooted for the increase in budgetary allocation for the office to equip the office properly and retain qualified officers.
"This will also enable us (If approved) to engage more state counsels, train them locally and internationally to boost their capacity in dealing with complex issues that may arise," he said.
