    "content": "It is disheartening that you would go to some counties and find people asking questions about devolved functions. They ask either the Senator or the Member of the National Assembly those questions and they have absolutely no answers. So, you start looking like a fool who does not know what is going on. So, this forum will accord the Members a chance to participate in what is going on. It will be a very good forum for the Members of the National Assembly because one will know which areas to expend his or her CDF on and which areas not to expend his or her CDF on. Although they are devolved functions and so on but we know even when all functions were national, the CDF was a major subsidy to the national functions. There is no reason why we cannot work in complementarity with the national Government and the county governments to ensure that our people get the best services possible through the two funds that are now clearly devolved to the grassroots."
