    "content": "the barriers along the road to collect cess and illegal levies. They told us that they only see county government officials hovering around with sirens and carrying special chairs to sit on during funerals. Once they are done, they carry those chairs, load them onto pickups and zoom to the next function. The impact of county government funds, equitable funds, and even their own source revenue is nowhere to be seen. That is why I call upon Kenyans of goodwill wherever they are to fight tooth and nail with their blood and water to ensure the NG-CDF is never touched at any given time. When your child has no school fees, who comes to the rescue 99 per cent of the time? It is bursaries from the NG-CDF. Any time the wind blows off a roof of a classroom, where do you run to as the first point of call? You run to the NG-CDF to assist you. When dealing with very mundane issues like when public health officers condemn toilets, where do you run to? You run to the NG-CDF. It is incumbent upon all Kenyans wherever they are to always train their eyes on how the NG-CDF funds are used at any given time. The money does not belong to the Members of Parliament. It is the people's money. If you find anybody speaking ill of the NG-CDF, and even contemplating or imagining that they can abolish it, they are completely abolishing you and your entire lineage. I wish there could be a bit of collaboration between the NG-CDF and the county governments. We could have done much more than what we are doing. Whatever too small administrative clerical mistakes they are, we urge Kenyans and the office of the Auditor- General to just treat them as they are. They are of no material impact. Therefore, I ask the Fund Managers to consistently ensure that we comply with the law at any given time."
