    "content": "Let me just share this with you. In 2007, there is a place where I got only three votes. I got 40 per cent of the total votes cast at the nomination. During the last election, that same place, I only failed to get the exact opposite. It is only three votes which I did not get. This is because of how I interacted with them in terms of the usage of the CDF. I will tell you that this money would do a lot more in changing even fortunes for you. That is why some people envy us and they want this Fund because they see it as a way of campaigning. But really, why can you not campaign? When you were selling your agenda, you were telling the electorate to elect you to do one, two or three things. If you do it with the resources that you get from the Government, because you cannot have enough resources to develop your constituency, there is nothing wrong. There is nothing wrong if you implement your manifesto because each one of us had a manifesto. So, if someone is telling you that, do not feel shy. Do not feel ashamed if someone is telling you that you are using the CDF to campaign. You need to use it to campaign and use even other resources. Even the Ministries need to give us resources to campaign because we campaigned on the platform of delivery, failure to deliver with the resources, we are voted out. But if you deliver because there are no resources, then the Government is not being fair to you."
