• Dr. Willy Munywoki Mutunga as Chief Justice;
• Ms. Nancy Makokha Baraza as Deputy Chief Justice; and
• Mr. Keriako Tobiko as Director of Public Prosecutions.

You then directed that the names and Curriculum Vitae of the nominees be referred to the relevant  Departmental Committee.
In view of the operational challenges facing the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on 2nd June, 2011, you directed that the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) take  up the matter for consideration and report to the House. Further, given the provisions of Standing Order  No.180 which allows public access to proceedings of Committees and, in order to comply with the  provisions of Article 73(2)(d) of the Constitution which underscores accountability to the public for  decisions and actions taken, you urged members of the public who wished to submit memoranda to do so to the Committee in respect of the three nominees.
