    "content": "During the last El Nino rains, we had many schools which were swept away by floods. In my constituency, up to today, there are areas where children are learning under trees. The national Government has not come in yet that is its function. So, we cannot again burden the same national Government. What was given out from national Government to NG-CDF is seen everywhere and it functions well. When I came to Parliament as a first timer, I agreed with my governor that we should divide roles: I pay for my constituency while he pays for university students and all the others. Up to today, what I do is seen on the ground, but no payments from the governor meant for the children in the county have been realised. The bursary fund in Isiolo is used in other ways and not for the sake of students. So, we will be safer when we will give all the monies to Members of Parliament, going by the many examples of what the NG-CDF has done. We cannot risk giving in to the demands of the national Government or anybody else and surrender to them whatever is collected. I agree with Members who have proposed that we take even those monies which are in the governor's account to NG-CDF so that Members of Parliament can manage them. It has been proven that Members of Parliament are able to do that better than anybody else."
