"content": "For those of us who were in Parliament at the time when the Government used to be here, there were three things that dominated the House. A Member of the backbench would ask a question to a then senior Minister (Cabinet Secretary) on a development project in his constituency. The usual answer was, “These projects will be funded when funds are available.” Note that phrase: “When funds are available.” That is the first thing that motivated Eng. Karue. At that time, our politics was tribal, regional, and full of its own characteristics. Meaning, when you were on the other side of the Government, development was highly politicised. Therefore, Hon. Karue decided to depoliticise development entirely. That is why he brought in the NG-CDF. I am privileged to have represented two constituencies, larger Wajir West and Eldas."
