We know that these issues are the ones that make us not to accept the proposals from the Senate. There is a lot of wastage of public funds. When the governors get money, I propose that they try and rehabilitate the dilapidated polytechnics. For example, in Machakos County, the dispensaries that were built under the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) are not functional. Also, there is a lot of wastage of public funds on hiring toilets and chairs and that should come to a stop. That is only if we, as a House, can stand firm. Finally, it is only NG-CDF which is visible out there. I wonder when they say my Governor is number one in Kenya! In my constituency, it is only NG-CDF which is working. So, I wonder what criterion was used to do the ranking."}
