    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. First and foremost, I want to thank the Special Funds Accounts Committee for the good work they have done. In the entire country, the only Fund that is felt at the lowest possible level is actually the NG-CDF. It has transformed lives. Hon. Speaker, it has brought hope where there was no hope. This is a fund that should be increased from 2.5 per cent to 5 per cent. Despite the coming of devolution, it has not been felt on the ground. It is good for the country to know that the CDF Act was amended to the title National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). They need to know that Members of Parliament do not implement, but only provide oversight. Many people have come to me for tenders. Members of Parliament do not give tenders. If you want to get a tender go to the Project Management Committee (PMC). We have the CDF Committees. Where there is a project in a school, there is a project management committee where the Principal is a member. That is where you go for tenders. I do not know if you Hon. Members give tenders. Where do you get tenders from? We do not give tenders. You go to the PMCs and follow the due process. The procurement method used is open tendering. Most of the time tenders are not given to the locals."
