    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report by the Special Funds Accounts Committee. I laud the Chairperson, especially on the details that the Report has brought forward on the impact of the NG-CDF in our society. The NG-CDF, like many other funds which the national Government channels to the ground, is the only Fund that is very visible and explicit. It has touched the lives of many Kenyans. You will realise that funds that go to the mwananchi from the national Government, especially from ministries, parastatals, partners and all other sources are rarely felt as the NG-CDF is. I laud the initiator of this Fund and more specifically, the Member of Parliament who moved the Motion that founded this Fund. You will realise that in my constituency, like in many other constituencies that Hon. Members have spoken about, the NG-CDF has seen a number of orphans go to school. The orphans would have otherwise not been able to make ends meet in their lives. We have seen areas where there were no schools and they now have good vibrant primary and secondary schools and even colleges. You will realise that the teacher training institutes (TTIs) that the national Government has built across the country have been successful because of the NG-CDF. The NG-CDF factored in Kshs10 million to all those TTIs across the country. We now have over 200 of them. This has made sure that the youth have skills, manpower and understand how they can work in the communities."
