    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me say something about the oversight committee. It needs to be funded and empowered because it can put sense into people, so that they can use the money fairly. I am aware that the NG-CDF is the only Fund that has stages of auditing. The normal one is the Government audit. The other auditing, which happens in the NG-CDF that people do not talk about, but it is true, is the public opinion auditing which is the worst for a Member of Parliament or any politician. If you are not using the NG-CDF well, you do not need to wait for Mr. Ouko to tell you something is wrong in your constituency. Your constituents will bombard you with a lot of issues and questions. If you are sensitive to people’s utterances, that will be the beginning of your action to correct the issues. Public opinion is very damaging to a politician. We need to be empowered in the oversight work, so that we do not subject ourselves to be corrected through public opinion because that is very dangerous for our political future.
