"content": "I want to start by thanking the only genuine engineer I know in this House, hon. Gumbo, for bringing up this Adjournment Motion. Just yesterday, when the Constituencies Development Fund Committee (CDFC) of Mumias East Constituency was issuing out bursaries to the tune of Kshs14.8 million to students, there was one parent who came and asked me, because I was present to play my oversight role: “Is it true that this CDF is unconstitutional? If it is, then we must have passed a very bad Constitution.” The reason is that this fund touches on the real common mwananchi . If you want to know how this fund has helped the wananchi, you do not ask the governors. This is because they want every penny around added to their purse. You also do not ask senators, especially those who are jealous because they feel they are not in control, and that they are not near this fund. They would, therefore, want us to be the same as them. You do not also ask judges. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
