    "content": "be elected the third time by God’s grace and mercy, having come here on affirmative action. I support the two-thirds gender rule. I support 35 per cent allocation to counties. While in the Select Committee, I supported 40 per cent allocation. Some of these things are not about whether they are wrong or right. The Deputy President, William Samoei Ruto, pushed the percentage to counties down and the Hansard can bear me right. It was originally 40 per cent. I pushed and supported the 40 per cent and I would still prefer that, but I am okay with 35 per cent given that it is up from 15 per cent. I have heard people saying that the NG-CDF is not of help, but you can only say so if you are a stranger from Jerusalem. The case is different for us who have always been in opposition and money was not being received in our areas. I can now afford to call the President names because I know we have the NG-CDF. We are giving a problem to our ward representatives because it is not entrenched. Some counties have them while others do not and it is because we have left it at the whims of the governors. When the Bill on Ward Development Fund came here, it was dropped in record time of two minutes. We will not pass it unless it is constitutional. I want to encourage Members not to fear the MCAs because once we have the oversight for Ward Development Fund and MPs have oversight of NG-CDF, we will all be happy. We will oversee whatever is linked to us."
