    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance to contribute to the matter. I want to thank hon. Junet for bringing this very important matter to the Floor of the House. The only development that is known to the people of Kenya, in terms of hospitals, roads and schools, has happened with the good work of the CDF and its good management. We need to be very careful with the Kshs210 billion that we have appropriated to the county governments. It can even be seen from the budgets of some of the county governments that they are not even prepared to start work. If statistics show that corruption in Kenya is in the tune of 30 per cent, my little knowledge of Mathematics tells me that out of the Kshs210 billion that we have given to the counties, we have got about Kshs60 billion to worry about in this financial year alone. On the issue of funds for roads, it is only Members of Parliament who drive on those roads every day, who know their true state. For the towns that are not lit, their funds must be retained in the CDF. I really concur with hon. Junet in saying that the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing should push on to ensure that, that money remains within the constituencies. Hon. Speaker, I beg to concur with my colleague and thank him a lot for raising the issue."
