    "content": "Hon. Speaker, you have heard the lone voice of Hon. Koyi. He has a very rich history, for those of you who do not know him. I beg to reply. I am happy that my colleagues in the Opposition are back in the House. As I listen to them, from Hon. Mbadi to the last speaker, the Member for Alego-Usonga, they are talking of government, government, government. So they have come to the realisation that there is a government. They have also come to the realisation that that government is led by a president, and that president is none other than Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. And I want to assure them, on behalf of Uhuru Kenyatta and his Government, that we will treat and devolve resources to counties and to NG-CDF, but make sure when money goes to your constituencies, you do not resist. That as you resist in Nairobi, then your constituency will not receive the funds. As I said, the AG will tomorrow publish the Gazette notice and then the CS for the National Treasury will make sure that as per the instructions of the President that resources will be given to all devolved systems under the national Government. Finally, even this afternoon, I have tabled about 15 constituencies whose accounts have been audited by the Auditor-General. I really want to ask colleagues, when you hear your constituency’s audited report has been tabled, go to Table Office, get a copy and go through it, because a time will come when your fund manager and the NG-CDF Board will appear before the Special Funds Committee to answer questions. So it is good you pick a copy and liaise with your Fund’s Manager so that all the necessary documents are provided before the actual appearance before that committee. It makes you work very tidy. It cleans your constituency. If you are a new Member of Parliament, you will see what your predecessor did. Also talk to the people and tell them the audited accounts were not done during your time. If you are an old Member then you can see if funds were misappropriated. Hon. Speaker, with those many remarks, I beg to reply."
