    "content": "laboratories and even bridges that have been built by hon. Members through CDF, they are some of the best. That is because most of these Members are really committed. I want to mention that if you were to use the governor’s model--- We know that counties have no capacity in terms of personnel. Even their procurement systems are not up to date. They have not absorbed 50 per cent of the funds that we provided for them in the last financial year. I want to support this Amendment Bill that we use the CDF model. I urge that, maybe, in future, the percentage should be increased so that we can have equal development across the country. The Jubilee Government mentioned in its manifesto that one of the priorities is to make this country a double digit economy. Unless we use the Equalisation Fund, those areas that are perceived to be poor in the provision of services like roads, water and electricity will not achieve that."
