    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for also allowing me an opportunity to contribute to this particular matter. I was once a Member of the NG-CDF Committee of this House. We would go round the country and assess the status of NG- CDF projects. There was a very serious issue which I noted during one of our visits. There were many stalled projects, especially in constituencies where there was change of guard in terms of the Member of Parliament. In most cases, when there is change of guard, the new Members initiate new projects which are, of course, in their agenda. Therefore, as a Committee, we proposed that during an electioneering year the NG-CDF allocation should be 100 per cent before we go for elections so that the sitting Members can complete their projects. This would also ensure that where there is change of guard, no debt is left behind and projects do not stall. Hon. Speaker, I wish the Chairman could work on attaining the full implementation of this resolution so we get 100 per cent of our money before we go for elections. Thank you."
