    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we proceed to make the next formula to look at the County Allocation of Revenue Bill in the coming year, I want us to go back to 2013, look at the allocation to every county, their consumption level and what they rolled over. Then, we can tell where we went wrong. As I look at what is happening here, we need to tell governors and people who are dispensing this money --- I do not want to use the statement that Hon. Duale and Gov. Rutto are synonymous with: “Pesa sio ya mama yako.” In English, it means that this money does not belong to you or your mother. The money belongs to everybody. So, we need governors to be very keen. As we speak, the people of Nandi County have no medicine and they are not being attended to. Yet, this is the money that has been sent and the governor has the audacity to roam around – I hear he came to Nairobi – I do not know what he came to do when he has this money. Where has all the money that has been sent to them gone? Buildings are being put up in every corner by county governments without regard. You may have been surprised when Sen. Murkomen talked about my governor and others competing with the national Government. They want to know how much the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) brought before they allocate money from the county government. A governor allocates Kshs20 million to build a secondary just so that he can be popular and everybody claps for him because they know how to clap. However, they do not want to finance building of nursery schools and polytechnics and yet this is what has been devolved."
