When I supported this Bill initially, I said that the board was simply providing a forum at the county level for consultations and co-ordination between the national and county governments.

It will be to the benefit of the people we represent if that board is established. It will create a forum where we can consult and co-ordinate development work.

I have seen instances in Kiambu County - which is my county - where a road is done at the constituency or at the sub-county level by the Constituency Roads Committee. The road which measures about five kilometres is probably allocated about Kshs3 million and yet, the money can only cover four or three-and-half kilometres. What many of those crooked governors do is to come and do the one-and-a-half kilometre that was left by the CDF and put up a sign board that the project was implemented by the county government. With a forum like this, people will co-ordinate and ...
