    "content": "we are going to deliberate tomorrow in the Kamukunji . I believe all my colleagues agree with one voice that we are saying CDF has to stay. Even the judges, or whoever was making this decision, were biased in their own way, or maybe they had been coerced by some quarters. There are those people who want to get money and spend it without accounting for the same or having it audited. We have had counties whose governors have gone to court to prevent the Auditor-General from auditing them. I wonder how accountable they are if they can go all the way to the courts to stop being audited, yet they are using public funds. The CDF is the only fund in Kenya, whose more than 95 per cent funds are used for the purpose of development only. Recurrent Expenditure is very little. The structures which govern this fund are some of the best. Almost every cent is accounted for and you do not get money before you identify the projects which are going to be done with that money. The other money which goes to the counties is committed to projects after it has been received. In CDF, you have to get the projects in place first before you get the money. Even when you go to the grassroots to the recipients of these services, they are happy with what CDF is doing. I believe every Member of Parliament here is every time involved in opening, commissioning or starting a project in this or that part of their constituencies. Personally, every weekend I open two or three classrooms. Last weekend I opened a whole police post with houses and offices for police officers."
