    "content": "that we support devolution. We want even to support the national Government. But until both sides sit down and talk over the issues which are wrong even with the Constitution and the happenings today, I do not think, as a country, we are going to make headway. There is pilferage at the county level. There is a lot of misuse but I want to plead with Kenyans and say this without fear or favour that if money, which seems to be annoying the conservatives in this country, is stolen in Isiolo, that money circulates in Isiolo. If it is stolen in Bungoma, it circulates in Bungoma. So, they want to plead with the people on the other side to stop being angry that monies are going somewhere because money must go somewhere. All we want to advise the Budget and Appropriations Committee is that this is money which has gone to people’s pockets on Harambee Avenue for years and years; for 50 years. Let it go to Turkana. Let the people of Turkana make sure that their money is used prudently."
