At KCDN [http://kcdnkomarockswatch.blogspot.com],we are faced with such cases on a daily basis.
In our follow up of these cases, we have found out that in most cases, CDF is used as a political tool to punish and to reward.
Our MPs are not as sincere in disbursement of the funds to needy cases as is by law required. In most cases, it is children of supporters who access these funds. That is the sad reality.
A casual look at all the CDF funds already disbursed to all the 210 constituencies in the country since 2004 makes nonsense of the reality on the ground. That money could have financed the education of all the bright children coming from vulnerable groups. But the truth of the matter is that littel attention has been paid to all cases that are deserving.
We need to mobilize Kenyans to know that CDF is their money and it is meant for all such deserving cases without necessarily being political supporters.
This is also the sad condition that is obtaining at the National level where Kenya has received a lot of money in form of Grants and Loans from development partners since Independence in 1963, and yet, we have nothing to show for it.
