    "content": "The constituency Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) funds, allow the Citizens Report Cards (CRC) Committee and officers on the ground to implement projects without necessarily meddling, especially in the procurement processes. We have seen many new MPs being charged in courts over procurement issues that we should never involve ourselves in. I want to encourage all MPs in this 13th Assembly to ensure that what we are doing is in line with the NG-CDF Act and our Constitution. Let us offer our oversight role and represent our people. In representing our people in NG-CDF matters, we begin by getting involved in the public participation exercises which direct where you shall take your money in terms of project implementation. Allow your people in the constituencies the opportunity to propose projects and be there to moderate. Offer leadership in the prioritisation of those projects, but do not seek to be the one to always direct where to implement projects in a biased manner. Allow balanced implementation of projects across the constituency. Whether people voted for you or not, do not sideline any part of your constituency because you think you did not get enough votes from that particular area. Balancing development across the constituency pays off at the end of the day."
