    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir and hon. Senators. On the letter by the legal advisor, let me make this categorical that I did not indicate the letter is fake. As to the advice given there, I do not see any mediocre or mediocrity in the legal advice given. This is advice given to a governor who does not have the background of legal knowledge. It is a simplistic letter made for the consumption of the governor. On the appointment of the County Revenue Board Chairperson, the advice that I gave the governor is that Section 6 of the County Revenue Board Act requires that the governor appoints a chairperson upon the approval of the County Assembly and two other members. The same Act indicates that in the absence of a chairperson, one of the members or the vice chairperson will take over the role of the chairperson. Indeed, the Governor forwarded three names for the chairperson and two members to the County Assembly for approval. The delay in the approval persisted and the chairperson and two other members had served their term up to 14th December when it lapsed. I advised the Governor that since the law does not strictly require the approval of these two members by the County Assembly, she can proceed and appoint the two members and leave the position of the chairperson vacant until it has been approved by the Assembly. These two members together with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Officer of Finance will constitute the revenue board. That way the board will run without any issues."
