    "content": "You will never see those in the Executive supporting this idea politically. You may have seen them making political statements posturing the NG-CDF as an important fund that needs to be aligned with the Constitution but when the National Government Constituencies Development Fund Committee starts working, one of the impediments they will face will be from the Executive. You will see. Hon. Members will remember that it was very difficult funding NG-CDF in the last Parliament. We used to get our money like drops of water. The Cabinet Secretary for Treasury would appear before Parliament and promise that the Executive would send to the NG-CDF secretariat Ksh1 billion in a week’s time and another Ksh2 billion the next week. Do not be cheated. I know that the Executive is not interested in the NG-CDF. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to seize this opportunity to tell my colleagues in the Kenya Kwanza Coalition not to be cheated. Those in the Executive are not in support of the NG-CDF. They want Members of Parliament to be incapacitated so that they do not attend to issues that can help their constituents. The Executive wants Members of Parliament to go and kneel before them, begging by raising their hands like when you talk to Jesus. We know them. We have been there before. Hallo! You then wait for the President or the Deputy President to come to your constituency one Sunday for you to tell them that a school in your constituency is badly dilapidated, and that children are not going to school – so that they can give you Ksh200,000 or Ksh100,000 and tell you, “ Mukae hivyo na Mungu atawabariki siku nyingine.Asanteni sana.” With those few remarks, I contribute."
