    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to also thank the Chair of the NG-CDF Committee for the good update. At least, we now know where we are. I also ask the National Treasury to do something this year because next year is a unique year. We are going for elections. Most likely - and it has happened before - many Members, maybe, about 70 to 60 per cent, will not come back here. That means the projects that are supposed to be done next year should be given priority by the Government so that they are completed. You will find that the NG-CDF is a very good model that is normally monitored by the public. So, it is a sure way and a sure bet that the money taken will go to the correct course. The NG-CDF is very visible in the country. Throughout the country, you will see those unique projects from this kitty. I think it is the way to go because we are not able to monitor how those other monies are spent in the country. The NG-CDF is the way to go. During this period when we are coming out of Covid-19, it is good to alleviate our citizens by making sure that this money is released before January or February as the Chair has said. That is so that we can give those bursaries and alleviate the poverty that is in the constituencies. I support."
