The committee had retreated to compile its report after the vetting process was concluded on Sunday, August 4.
When she appeared before the committee on Sunday, Ms Lang’at was grilled on how she would deal with key issues in the gender ministry, including the two-thirds gender rule.
“It is a big challenge. The department I am nominated has initiatives under the gender inequality push including proposals on review of the Constitution,” she responded.
Her fate now rests with Parliament, which will decide whether she is suitable for appointment or uphold the recommendation of the Appointments Committee.
Meanwhile, President Ruto has reiterated that he formed the new broad-based government to unite the country and avoid conflict.
