    "content": "The Committee observes that in its common ground, there were procurement irregularities and malpractices and outright violation of the relevant laws. The only question is one of liability and whether responsibility for violation could be placed on the Governor as the County Assembly had done or whether the liability resided solely in the responsible officers. It is the view of the Committee that while primary liability for violations of procurement laws may lie with individual officers, Article 73 of the Constitution which provides for the responsibility of leadership as read with Article 179 of the Constitution and Section 33 (f) of the County Governments Act, 2012, lead to the conclusion that the Governor will be held liable for violations that occurred during his watch and in respect of which he or she does not take any action. The Committee finds charge No.1 to have been substantiated."
