    "content": "I am one of those people who would wish to have some free time not purely tied to the activities of the House, so that I can attend to activities that I have in my constituency. Remember for those of us who come from marginalized counties, and on this, I must thank the National Treasury – although they released the money late. If they released the money on time, especially the money for the Equalization Fund, we would really appreciate. My constituency is one of the beneficiaries, among the many other constituencies in the 14 counties. This is the best opportunity for us to go and identify the roads and projects which that money is going to work on. I must thank the National Treasury, although they delayed with that money. Next time, I urge them to release the money yearly as per the Constitution. The Constitution provides for the release of that money just like the money budgeted for counties, the national Government and any other activity. The money is supposed to be released each and every year. So, we wish to urge the CS for the National Treasury to make sure that next time, he does not delay with that money because people from marginalized areas need it. We are also looking forward to finishing the projects that we have started for this financial year. We are hoping that before the end of next month, we should have had all the money released to the constituencies so that we can make use of it. I wish Members, especially those who are going for campaigns, peaceful campaigns. I can see Jubilee and CORD are panicking. I am happy because I am neutral. I just see how people are moving: and which side is moving in which direction. If Jubilee is collapsing then, of course, it cannot collapse with us. If CORD is collapsing, it cannot collapse with some of us. We just want to support the area that we see has the right policies for this country. I wish NASA to pick the best candidate to send this team home. Otherwise, if you pick a wrong candidate, do not blame us again."
