(Ms.) Sara Korere","speaker":{"id":13134,"legal_name":"Sara Paulata Korere","slug":"sara-paulata-korere"},"content":"We have seen the Ministry of Education allocating a lot of funds for infrastructure development and as Hon. Kaluma mentioned earlier, NG-CDF is a classic example of what devolved funds can do. The NG-CDF reaches the lowest unit of our locations, sub-location and villages. It beats logic why money should be allocated for infrastructure in the Ministry while the same money can be allocated to NG-CDF and does exactly what the Ministry purports to do with the same funds. If this is not sustaining corruption, then you wonder what it is. I do not want to believe that anybody seated in Jogoo House will know what Laikipia North Constituency requires in terms of infrastructure development in a school more than an NG-CDF board member who comes from that locality in a place like Kwale, who knows what Kwale needs. Going forward, we need to strengthen NG-CDF."}
