Education Cabinet Secretary nominee Professor George Magoha is waiting parliamentary after cabinet reshuffle which saw him replace Amina Mohammed .
The parliamentary committee has revealed the day the day for his approval.
On Thursday he is expected before a parliamentary committee to undergo an approval hearing following his nomination to replace Amina Mohamed.
According to a schedule appearing on the National Assembly website, Prof Magoha is slated before the Committee on Appointments from 10am at a sitting to be held at County Hall’s Mini-Chamber.
House Speaker Justin Muturi – who chairs the committee – last Tuesday informed MPs that he had formally received a message from President Uhuru Kenyatta naming the outgoing Kenya National Examination Council Chairman to head the Education docket.
In accordance with the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, National Assembly Clerk Michael Sialai on Thursday announced a seven-day period during which members of the public can submit their views in support or against the nomination of the former University of Nairobi Vice-Chancellor.
Muturi directed that MPs will have to either approve or reject his nomination by March 19.
