    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I want to support the Report from the Committee. We thank God because of the NG-CDF in some marginalised areas. The funds are doing a lot of good work in the local areas. Maybe what we need to think of is that sometimes, as a representative of the people, when you go to a place where the locals require a dispensary, you are not allowed to use the funds. So, the Committee needs to look into this aspect because we really need to open up the funds since we are not seeing what the county governments are doing in some places. Sometimes you even find pre- school children learning under trees and the parents request you to build a classroom for them, but the law does not allow you to do so. The allocation for youth affairs in the NG-CDF is very little yet we know that the youth in this country have a lot of challenges. It is high time we reviewed the Act, so that the allocation can be improved in order to help the youth. Otherwise, this Report is good. If we move in the direction suggested therein, our people will be assisted through these funds. With those few remarks, I support. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
