    "content": "was at the university has not been paid. Now auditors are being asked to verify whether the grass was planted on that stadium in 2015. What are we doing to our counties? What are we doing to our resources? If the people of Nyandarua County have never had an opportunity to use Ol Kalou stadium, where is prudence in the usage of the resources? How do we say that the people of Nyandarua County are benefiting from facility? It is not just about pumping money into a project. It is about pumping money into a project that is helpful to the people. People should be able to say that they can truly see their Kshs100 million or Kshs200 million; not on the books, not in the radio, not in speeches, but by utilizing that particular facility. They should point at JM Hospital and say, “this hospital has got about Kshs500 million and that is why we are getting this kind of service.” I support that the National Treasury must do something, but most importantly, the CoB must put her foot forward. In the Constitution, there was a reason why the office of the CoB was created. It was to help us in terms of answering some of these questions. No money is drawn from the County Revenue Fund (CRF) without the direct nod of the CoB. The person who has the gate valve of money going to counties is the CoB. If the CoB rejects a requisition that has been done by the counties, that would be the only route of ensuring that we force, if we must, county governments and devolved units to honour their dues."
