    "content": "I read today in the newspapers that the Constituencies Development Fund CDF) should be audited. What the governors need to know is that we are usually audited every year and we have nothing to hide. If you have nothing to hide, anybody who summons you, just go there with your executive and clear your name and go home. But if you start hiding, it means there is something. The guilty ones are always afraid. What are they afraid of? A sum of Kshs280 billion is a lot of money if it is utilized well. If the county government puts the money into use, it is a lot of money and by now we should be seeing transformation. Thumbs up to Governor Mutua, at least, he has done something that every Kenyan can see. I do not care whatever they say about his roads. At least, there was transformation from what was there before. He has done a good job and he is doing a good job. What I am trying to say is that county governments should be comfortable with the money allocated to them. I have seen that in the referendum that is coming they want to include devolution so that they can ask for more money. What we are trying to tell them is that we do not need to go that way. We have already been given money. The monies are in the counties. Let them first work for their counties and tell us what they have done for their counties. Anyway, they do not need to tell us, we will see what they have done with that money."
