I respect them, but sometimes when you follow their deliberations - which sometimes I have had time to follow - it is normally centered on how you increase the National Government- Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA) funds. Those are things within their control. That is the struggle for this Republic and happens to be our challenge."}
