    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, the NG-CDF is an equaliser of development in this country. There are regions in this country that had been left behind, but the NG-CDF has enabled them to develop to the same level with other areas. The NG-CDF is audited by six institutions. Therefore, it is very wrong for one to say that there is theft. The judges said that the term of a NG-CDF account manager is based on the term of the Members of Parliament. They got it all wrong. That is because according to the NG-CDF Act, the fund managers are moved from one place to another based on their performance in various areas. They also made a mistake by saying that we are dividing revenue based on the national cake of the country. We only take a small part of the money allocated to the national Government. It is wrong for the court to say so. For the governors who have funded those cases against the NG-CDF, it is time for us to bite the bullet too. The House should also move a Motion and amend the Constitution to abolish the counties. This is because if there are people who are corrupt in this country, it is the governors. There is no governor who finishes his term without going through the courts as he goes home. They have stolen and are guilty. It is time that Kenyans thought about amending the Constitution to abolish the 47 counties and establish a few counties that are manageable with very few thieves. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
