    "content": "money, I will be able to renovate all the schools and supervise the same. Some of the primary schools do not have desks. And there is not enough money to buy desks because the amount of money that goes to the constituencies is very little. Divide the money that we get with the wards that we have. For example, we get about Kshs100 million and deduct the amount for administration. Suppose you are left with about Kshs70 million, divide it by about five wards, you will find it is very little money. It is less than Kshs20 million going to a particular ward and yet, we are expected to build schools, police stations and to do other things. I also want to give relevance to Members of Parliament. Internationally, parliaments are known as compared to other management units in a country. So we want to give credit to Members of Parliament to make sure that this position is strong in our country, so that when we go out and meet our counterparts, we have something to say. If you do not give them resources, if you do not strengthen the seats, at the end of the day, the position of Members of Parliament will be diluted and will be less appreciated by other Kenyans."
