    "content": "As I wind up, because I can see that time is running out, let me also say that we have seen the kind of work that has been done in our constituencies since NG-CDF was introduced in this country. I will give an example of Kiambu County, where the 12 constituencies in total, are getting about Ksh2 billion per year. Our county government is getting Ksh15 billion from the central kitty. If you go to every village, there is a project of NG-CDF. You can go to some places where there is no project that has been done in the whole ward for the last two years. If you look at some wards, you will find that nothing has been done by these counties for the last ten years. We, therefore, must tell the governors that we are giving them the money but it should be used prudently. As a country, moving forward, we have to look at the way funds are being used in our counties and whatever money they are collecting themselves. Of course, the county councils used to do better than what is being done today for the simple reason that there is money that is going to people’s pockets and not really working for the people. As a country, we need to stop this pilferage where money is being siphoned. We should even call upon Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) to look into these counties and see what is happening to the money that has been given from the central kitty and whatever is being collected from the counties."
