    "content": "We need to educate our Members and create a forum through which we will educate the public to understand what the NG-CDF does and what is done by county governments. There are many instances, and I am sure I am speaking on behalf of my colleagues in the House today, where we have been accused of not doing roads yet they were devolved to counties. A Member of Parliament has no duty and capacity or is not allowed by law to use the NG-CDF money to do roads. But some people, because they do not know, keep asking what the Member of Parliament has done with the NG-CDF money and why he is not fixing roads. So, we need to know where to place the blame because road construction is a county function. Once people understand that, they will demand services from counties in a clearer way than passing the buck elsewhere like from time to time when a governor does not do something and says that it is the Member of Parliament who is supposed to do it. That way, we do not give services to mwananchi as we ought to."
