    "content": "Corruption is not only taking the money but also using your authority to destroy the freedom of others. I hope that the new legislation that we are coming up will help Kenyans to participate fully in the issue of fighting corruption. I have a Bill which I hope will be coming soon for the First Reading. It is a county oversight Bill that calls for the people on the ground to be part of the budget-making process for them to understand how their money is utilised on a daily basis. Corruption will not be solved by His Excellency the President. This is a responsibility for all of us as legislators and Kenyans. We should say “no” to corruption because we want to have a better life. I was actually baffled to hear a statement by the President which I will not keep quiet about because I want the President to explain. The President talked about Kshs2 billion having been disbursed to 11 counties as Equalisation Fund. I am from Narok and there is not a penny from the Equalisation Fund that has been sent to Narok. I remember clearly and I think it was two weeks ago when the Bill was signed. Then, how can it be that Kshs2 billion was disbursed yet that money is not in Narok County? I do not know whether the person who wrote the speech wrote that in anticipation that the money will be dispensed. I want to challenge and encourage that the President should take note of the issue of money having been disbursed to counties. If money was dispensed, Narok County is among the 11 counties but why is it that those counties do not have that money? I know that during the Devolution Conference, we talked about Huduma"
