    "content": "assembly, so as to activate or implement the budget. Instead of an Appropriations Bill, what has come to the assembly is a memorandum. The legal standing of that memorandum, the issues raised and the timing of that memorandum have now resulted to a stalemate. Upon its passing by the assembly any memorandum thereon would have been considered by the assembly before his assent. On the issue of whether the annual budget implementation report was tabled before the assembly, yes, it was tabled, but we are not aware as to whether that report was presented to the Controller of Budget and the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). That information was not availed to us. As indicated in the forwarding letter by the person who signed, it was for the assembly’s information, as required under the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012. We shall make that confirmation. We shall also seek that information from the acting CEC Finance, whom I am advised will be here tomorrow. We will put that question to him. Regarding the question on the mode and procedure applied by the assembly in processing this notice of Motion, it is true that there was an invitation sent to the governor to appear under Standing Order No.60 of the County Assembly of Nyeri Standing Orders. In fact, that is not disputed. In the responses made by the governor, he does not dispute that there was an invitation. He raises the issue that he did not appear, which is also not disputed. He raises the issue as to whether, instead, Counsel ought to have been heard. This is a matter that is alive before the court in a petition filed by the governor. We have responded to that application and denied denying him the right to be heard. There was a notice issued to the governor for his appearance under Standing Order No. 60 of the Standing Orders of the County Assembly of Nyeri."
