President Ruto officially appoints all 50 CAS nominees after Parliament declines to vet them

The Speaker's memorandum to the President reads as follows: “The obligation to respect, uphold and defend the Constitution enjoins the House to refrain from assuming and discharging a role that it has not been expressly assigned by the Constitution or written law. In that regard, the National Assembly is unable to vet the nominees in the absence of an express constitutional or statutory requirement to do so”.
