    "content": "We must be bold in the actions we take, going forward. I am very sad because our President knows these things, but he does not address them. As long as he sits pretty and quiet, we shall always have disgruntlement and dissatisfaction among our populace. How can a governor who was elected into office 2 years ago and earns a salary of Ksh500,000, Ksh600,000 or Ksh700,000 a month, own 11 houses in Nairobi today? We are pretending. Actually, we are not sincere in what we are doing. Mr President, these are the things that you must face and deal with before you stop those massive demonstrations in this country. You know the facts. Those governors are your friends because they come to you, you dine with them, you eat with them, and you share with them. This is a problem in this country. Our problem is not the laws we enact. Our problem is implementation and oversight. As much as I support this Motion, I know that the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) is well entrenched and has safeguards in laws. Let it be that there must be safeguards, checks and balances even as we go forward devolving our funds. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
