    "content": "to this House. If you misuse your CDF funds, you will not see the inside of this House again. It is as simple as that. Therefore, we support the increase of CDF funds because this money goes to the grassroots level. Contractors are normally employed at the grassroots level. Materials are purchased at the grassroots level. the people who benefit are those in the constituency. This is one way of ensuring devolution and not majimbo. In this respect, I must commend the Government for agreeing to put up 72 offices for the newly created districts. I must also commend the Government for creating the 20 sub-provinces. I must urge the Minister in charge of Internal Security to go ahead and create 20 provinces. The Minister for Local Government should also create local authorities based on the 20 regions. This will be viable and economical and we will bring services closer to the people. We should not politicize this issue. If people were to be asked we would even ask for more. How do you expect one Provincial Commissioner to supervise, for example, 60 districts in Rift Valley? It is not possible. Rift Valley Province has got more than 60 districts. How can one Provincial Commissioner supervise them? I am asking the Minister in charge of Internal Security not to fear. He should proceed and create more districts. With those words, I support."
