    "content": "programme. This means the money was misused or it went into an individual’s pocket. We had an agreement with the NYS to provide equipment for road maintenance and fuel, which they did. We had an agreement for them to also provide fuel. It is so sad because I ended utilising the NG- CDF money for the programme. I wrote to the national officer of the NG-CDF to approve a reallocation of funds so that we could use the funds to purchase fuel and marram to construct the roads. The NYS contracts specifically said that they would construct 10 kilometres of marram road in every constituency which was not done. It is so sad. I do not know where the Jubilee Government has taken the youth with their promise of one million jobs. I request the DPP to move with speed and direct the relevant investigative authorities to further investigate this matter with a view of prosecuting the culprits in the scandal and let other Kenyans learn from this. Lastly, it is a big shame for a country like Kenya to start importing grains from the developed world when we know that the Kenyan economy is based on agriculture. It is a shame for a country that is a signatory to the COMESA Protocol to import sugar from Brazil. It is brought through Egypt, repackaged and imported to Kenya as sugar from COMESA. It is a shame to the Jubilee Government. It is a shame for the Jubilee Government, having failed to privatise sugar mills, to allow private capital to be injected into the sugar mills to modernise and improve on the uptake of sugarcane production and then import sugar from Brazil. This is sugar from beetroot. We are heading to a dangerous place with the Jubilee Government. I pray that Kenyans vote out this Government."
