If you guys can recall CDF is a recent development, an invention of the last parliament.

It came after MPs complained that we are bothering them with petty demands for funds thus straining the MPs finances.

This is coming to an end with the new katiba. Funds for dvpt will be handled by county govts not CDF committees.

Now I understand why people can't understand the difference between Member of National Assembly, Senator(both of which make up parliament) and governor!

It's simply because even the most educated never understood the role of an MP. Thus the question 'Ametufanyia nini?'.

Same people who support those who flash money around, castigate the same people when they increase their salary, mido crass for you!!!!!

Which is wrong! in swahili he/she is called Mjumbe... i.e. a delegate someone who takes your message to the August house. Mps are not leaders nor are they supposed to be managers, they are supposed to be law makers. He/she is supposed to be camped in parliament doing his job (a member of parliament or a National Assembly representative) At what time will he/she be managing projects? in the new constitution those local guys will do this work. We have expected too much from them no wonder we are disappointed.

Oloo Aringo was one of the best!

@Masukuma I agree with you on the MPs main roles.However,please tell me what is the use of the CDF and who's reponsible for its management,disbursement and use?

if all Mpigs could serve their employers(read wanjiku) the best way they can... it would be a wonderful country to live in.

My opinion, largely there are four categories of leaders:

Mr Clean- who champions and supports the welfare of the people
Mr Not clean-who champions and supports the welfare of the people
Mr Not clean- who doesn't champion and doesn't support the welfare of the people
Mr Clean- who doesn't champion doesn't supports the welfare of the people

Case Study Kenya political scene;- we do not have any MR Clean..so don't bother asking any politician his source of wealth or blah blah, its better not to vote.

The critical thing is, before voting for MR. X, what is in it for ME and my country? the voter wields more power and thus more responsibility that the leader being elected.

i will look at track record(read performance in past areas of responsibility) when voting next year..i will not look at tribe factor(i dont eat my tribe and no politician can take or change my ethnicity so it doesnt matter!)

on this scale...Sonko is ahead of most presidential aspirants!..my opinion
