    "content": "consideration, excluding the nominees of the Meru County Alcoholic Drinks Control Board, whose nomination has been since committed to the relevant committee of the County Assembly for vetting and consideration.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, despite the Clerk of the County Assembly confirming that the list for the Meru County Alcoholic Drinks Control Board had been laid to the relevant committee by 31st August, 2023, to date, that vetting is yet to be concluded. Mr. Speaker, Sir, volume II of the County Assembly documents, page 60, is the letter I was referring to. It is dated 15th July, 2024. In this letter, dated 15th July, 2024, the County Secretary is making a follow-up of the position of the nominees, whether they have been approved or not, and indicates- “To date, the County Assembly has deliberately failed to approve and or communicate its rejection of the nominees to the County Executive despite constant reminders.” This is a letter dated 15th July 2024. I emphasize the statement, “despite constant reminders” because I am aware that yesterday, the Clerk of the County Assembly appeared before this honourable House and disputed the three letters that I have mentioned, that is the letter appearing on pages 54, 55 and 56 of the Governor's bundle of documents. The Clerk of the County Assembly indicated they have never received any letter as a reminder."
