    "content": "Nakuru, have built toilets to the tune of Kshs8.9 million. It is high time public finance is managed properly. When the NGCDF started, it also had problems akin to the county governments’ in terms of financial management. As I speak, NGCDF is one of the best managed funds. Even if a public officer was a wanton thief, it is very difficult for him to steal because of the structures we have put in place where PMCs and the people are involved in deciding which projects are going to be funded, how the funding is going to be controlled and how they are going to achieve best results. Most of the county governments have public participation fora, but most of them are fixed. The dates when they are supposed to be done are not properly announced and they are only done for the sake of it. That is why we do not have a common procedure in the counties. Counties like Nakuru have Ward Development Fund (WDF), but in other counties, governors decide what happens. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Bill."
