    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. My name is Abdul Rahim Dawood, the Member for Imenti North. I want to support this Motion, but with a caution as well. We need to check all the money which goes to the county governors. We have to be very careful on how the governors will use the money. They may get the money and think that they are on top of the world. They need to consult the members of the county assembly and not just inform them. They may be using that money where it is not needed, for example, doing big projects which are not viable. We need to have a defining line in terms of where the Member of Parliament gets involved in the county functions if at all, he or she will. A lot of functions of the county governments will be in the constituencies and that is the more reason why the governors should consult Members of Parliament. Otherwise, I believe that this year the paper says 30 per cent but we should be increasing every year the money that goes to county governments up to about 50 per cent, like what was said earlier in the morning. However, there should be a rider that the Member of Parliament should be involved in many of the projects which will not be duplicated with the CDF and it should be in tandem with the aspirations of the constituencies."
