    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity. I am a bit bewildered by your factual observation on additional responsibilities that have consistently and incrementally been ramped up on the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). I think this is because Kenyans are yet to internalise the terms of references around NG-CDF. Probably, it is because it was the first devolved money back to the electorate. Health is a devolved function. Just as you have correctly put it, even cabinet secretaries who belong to the affluent community and are enlightened would still be asking us to shoulder NHIF bills or remissions on behalf of our constituents. This is bizarre. Certain times even issues to do with agriculture, water and roads, which are under the purview of devolved functions, still come to our doorsteps to be handled by us and we ask ourselves: “When will this end so that Kenyans can discern what is under the mandate of the county and those that fall under the NG-CDF?” However, we will not stop carrying out civic education on the same."
