There are seven headings. I will not get into any of the specifics because people will understand what we are discussing. The person who has written to us questions why legal advice was withheld from the board, why two audit committee chairs have departed since September 2018, who the parties were to leases on which KWETB entered into agreements, the schedule of meetings between the board and the Department, whether complaints were being dealt with appropriately within the KWETB, if there were appropriate safeguards against abuse of the appointments system in the KWETB, and inaccurate or misleading statements at the recent meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts which the KWETB attended. There are also concerns because the clock is running down, with the board's term of office is due to end with the local elections very shortly. Out of all those, only one is specifically directed to the Committee of Public Accounts. All the others are very much internal matters and relate to how the board operates.
