    "content": "These funds get very tricky when it is an election time and a lot of people want to use every method. It must be made clear to the country that the Member of Parliament is only doing oversight. He does not participate. The local committees which deal with these funds are very careful and are watched by the people there. That is why you find that these funds are very difficult. When a cheque has been issued to construct a classroom somewhere, for anyone to steal any money whether they used a contractor or some local fundi, the committee implements. It can easily be accounted for and valued. I have heard something to do with standards. There are many ways you can look at it. It can be audited but the same time, the Ministry of Housing can come up with a standard like the way we did our offices. There is a certain level of standard from the little money that is given. You could see all the NG-CDF offices in the country. They came up with very good offices at reasonable cost and the design was almost the same. I really want to commend the team and say this model should be replicated in other levels to make sure that devolution works."
