    "content": "Are we just here to seek for services or just to allocate funds? I think what Kenyans want are services. They are looking for the impact, whether it is in National Government, or county governments. We have to see whatever the funds that we are allocating to those counties have actually realized the right priorities of the citizens. I want to tell this House: Were it not for CDF, the impact of the National Government could not have been seen. CDF is doing a great job. People who misused CDF have suffered the consequences of that. The same will also happen to the governors. If there is anybody who is misappropriating the county funds, he or she will suffer the consequences. One thing we are saying is: Yes, we support that funds must go to the counties but, as a Parliament, we have a role to play. We need to oversight those funds. We need to ensure that whatever we are giving out in this Parliament, we have to follow it on the ground to ensure that it has done the right job for Kenyans."
