    "content": "Secondly, we are all working for the common good of this country to improve the welfare of Kenyans. When the judges make decisions, they want justice to prevail. What type of justice are they talking about when they say that the CDF is unconstitutional, yet they are aware of its benefits? They need to go round the country and see what the CDF has done. It appears they have not gone anywhere. If they did, they would have seen that dispensaries and schools have been constructed using the CDF. Roads have also been done by the CDF. These funds are from the national Government. I expected them to rule that since Parliament is doing the oversight role, let this money go to the national Government, so that it can oversee projects in the constituencies. More importantly, the CDF Act was not passed by the current Parliament. In the ruling, they have clearly stated that the Senate was not involved. Which date were they using? There was bias in this ruling. We need to get good lawyers to go through the process. We will be meeting tomorrow, as Members of the National Assembly, so that we can agree on the best way to tackle this and retain the CDF. We also need to involve the Senators who are supporting us."
