    "content": "There are a number of students and villagers who do not feel that this money has reached them. If you go to other corners, you will find projects that the NG-CDF had initiated. Today, I witnessed the police demolishing a school that the Government built in a place called Dupoto Darfur in Nairobi. The police who are paid by the Government did so through a court order. I wondered why the Government would use its officers to demolish and destroy the property of its citizens - the people they represent. The same Government evicted its citizens and used live bullets. It is very sad. I am at a loss for words. The Government demolished the school that was built through the NG-CDF funds. It was very embarrassing. We had to call a higher office because the Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) of Embakasi could not take our calls. If the Cabinet Secretary, Interior and Coordination of National Government or his regional boss called him, he would not listen because his pocket had spoken. They cannot listen. Our lazy officers can use such an opportunity to destroy property and evict Kenyans. Even if there is a court order, they can negotiate with those people on the ground. Small cartels are oppressing the poor. It is important that we allocate more money to the NG-CDF kitty so that it can reach many other people. I support the Report of the Committee."
