    "content": "I submit to this honourable House that the County Assembly allocates funds and then the Governor together with the County Executive Committee Members (CECM) is to be accountable for the management and use of the county resources. It is not the responsibility of the County Assembly to manage the resources. It is the work of the Governor together with the staff that the Governor supervises according to that section. Secondly, concerning the Meru County boards that have not been operational because they were not constituted, I submit that the County Assembly of Meru made various communications through the clerk of the County Assembly to the County Executive. That, they needed to submit documents to the County Assembly to enable it carry out its mandates, which were never received. Similarly, as I have said, it is the work of the County Executive to use the funds allocated well. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, and hon. Members, the third question is on the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the County Public Service Board (CPSB) and the County Secretary. These two offices in county public service have distinct functions. They board is mandated to recruit through interviews. After recruitment, it is the county secretary who deploys, supervises and does the other work. So, the two have distinct functions. It is only that they work very closely. The other question from Sen. Tabitha Mutinda is still on the chairperson of the board. I believe I have already submitted. That, it is the responsibility of the Governor of Meru County and the other officers to ensure the boards are legally constituted. It is not the duty of the County Assembly of Meru. Concerning the remedy about this issue, I have already submitted that the County Assembly has worked so hard to implore on the County Executive to carry out their mandate in order to make even our work as the County Assembly very easy. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
