Mr Ibrahim-Chidari said an invitation letter had been sent to Mr Ibrahim-Tsanyawa to appear before the house on Tuesday for a screening.
The nine nominees were screened, and the legislators deliberated on the screening, which resulted in the confirmation of the commissioners.
Some of the nominees were former speakers and commissioners.
Speaking on behalf of the nominees, Mr Burum-Burum commended the house for conducting a smooth exercise.
Meanwhile, the house standing Committee on Women Affairs has been ordered to report to it within two weeks for further legislative action on an amendment of the bill of persons with disability (PWD) 2018.
Earlier, the majority leader of the house, Labaran Abdul-Madari, said the PWD bill, if passed into law, would improve service delivery to persons with disability and protect their rights as citizens.
