    "content": "Yes, it is like we are refugees in our own county. We expect the Oversight Fund to be the teeth to bite, so that we evaluate, monitor and oversight this fund at the county. We make sure that if it is 10 boreholes, we make sure that they are done. If it is electricity, we make sure that every rural village is electrified. When we see roads, we make sure that they are there. I was a Member of the 11th and 12th Parliaments. It is a paradox that the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) was building a road with approximately Kshs1million or Kshs2 million on the higher side. When we get into the county, you will find that a two or five-kilometer road is done at Kshs25 billion against Kshs1 million. Surely, this is misappropriation. We can pass this appropriation and I support, but in reality, to tell you the truth, it will be misappropriated. The other thing is about the designs in the counties. We are supposed to have a design by a specialized government official. Every governor gets his designer who draws the projects. You will see that they defer and it is too expensive."
