    "content": "responsible. We have resolved, as Members of the CPAIC, that where there is violation of law and financial impropriety. The governor, being the CEO of a county, must be held jointly liable with the other accounting officers. Our understanding, as Members of the CPAIC, is that the governor is not just the CEO, but also the chief accounting officer. There are governors who argue that because they do not do the day-to-day approvals and they do not have the authority to incur expenditure, they should, therefore, not be held liable. That, in our view, is not an accurate interpretation of the law. It is only a governor who is described in the Constitution as the CEO, out of those all those who are elected. In fact, even the President is not described as the CEO, but the Governor is described as the CEO. If you go by the conventional managerial definition of that term, it means that, that is where the buck stops. It is not enough for a Governor to say that his procurement people did something wrong and that they should be dealt with, whereas he becomes an exception."
