    "content": " It could have been the marginal error. I did not know you are a mathematician. I thought I am. I have always imagined and believed that you are just a lawyer and that is it. Probably, during your lower levels of education, you must have done some maths. What I meant to say is that this is the only fund that has received a positive verdict. You can even see the results of NG-CDF across the country. As I conclude, there is a trick as to why NG-CDF is successful. The trick is that this is the only fund which is budgeted directly to projects. It is high time as a country we started thinking of how we link the budget direct to specific projects so that implementation is direct and easy. Giving a budget to people to play around with is the reason you see cases of templates being introduced with budget lines that do not exist in counties and then reports are brought all the way to the Senate. For the report to reach Parliament, it must have gone through a lot of processes. We are seeing reports in the Senate which do not make sense. That is because as a country, we have not thought seriously on how to link our budget to specific projects for implementation. In fact, we changed our budgeting to programme-based. This is not the right time for me to engage because I have a lot to say on this. In a nutshell, we need to seriously think of how to link the funding direct to projects to lower possibility of misuse."
