    "content": "I have heard some people say that their counties are receiving funds for aggregation centres, which are very good for creating employment and ensuring that farmers get common markets for their commodities, and even contributing to value addition. About 18 counties in the country will receive funds for that purpose but I am devastated because my county will not receive anything. This is because projects have stalled due to inaction by the contractors or by the county government. I want to thank the national Government because the county governments receive money on time. The problem is that some governors are very incompetent and, therefore, they do not utilise the funds they receive in a proper manner. I call upon the county governments to ensure that they channel the funds they receive from the national Government towards delivery of services that the mwananchi needs out there. Currently, the county governors want funds meant for the RMLF under the KeRRA. They want Ksh10 billion to go to the county governments. They have not used the funds allocated for the maintenance of roads. The roads are impassable and pathetic, yet they want more money. I do not know why they want more funds yet they have not utilised the funds they currently have. They do not even have enough personnel or engineers like KeRRA to supervise the roads that KeRRA is constructing. If you go home right now, you can easily identify a road that is being constructed by KeRRA because it is done properly as compared to road projects being undertaken by county governments. This is because county government road projects are being executed by very incompetent engineers. We cannot see the fruits of their labour."
