    "content": "they posted on social media as if it was done by the county government. We are fighting here and yet we are leaving a lot of money to go to waste in the counties. Article 95(4)(c) of the Constitution allows MPs to oversee money allocated to the counties. The source of funds in this country is through taxation. This is where we get national revenue. There is no county that can produce money for its own. The money we vote here is for running the counties and the national Government. We should be concentrating on this. It is not right to just oppose the Presidential Address and yet we have a lot of money going to waste in counties. In June, we will allocate money to counties and we should ensure that it is properly used. We passed a law on the CDF because we wanted to align it to the national Government because we only had two options. The governors are saying that they want to take MPs to court and yet they cannot account for the money they were allocated. It makes no sense to hate an individual thinking you can remove them from office. That should not be the way. Let us have it and when it comes to elections, we can properly itemise it. I support this. I would like the Government and MPs to ensure that the money allocated to the counties is properly utilised so that Kenyans can get value for their money."
