    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the NG-CDF has helped us to realise that money works better if it is devolved to the grass root level. So, creating the Ward Development Fund and if appropriate laws are put in place, will be as effective as the NG-CDF in implementing the devolved functions. I can tell you in my own county, there are things we would want to do, but we have to go to the county. You want to even improve fisheries and simple horticulture or women just want to borrow small money for trade. If the money was available, we would go a long way in supporting our people. Putting the NG-CDF in the Constitution is a good move forward. We are tired of the fighting every year. Although it is now the NG-CDF, putting it in the Constitution is a permanent solution. All of us know that if you go to schools in many constituencies, there is no difference between schools in town and those in the rural areas. Why should our children in the rural areas go to poorer schools and they pay taxes like everybody else? So, including the NG-CDF in the Constitution is very important."
