To this end,the Ondo State house of assembly has commenced screening of would be caretaker chairmen and supervisory councillors in the council areas of the state.

The lawmakers at a plenary presided over by the speaker, Bamidele Oleyelogun rejected the request on the ground that the list did not contain names of supervisory councillors.

The screening committee, led by the speaker had received a comprehensive list of the caretaker committees and embarked on the screening exercise.

The exercise was being done alphabetically according to local government areas devoid of media coverage.
