    "content": "Members here have talked about success stories of bursaries. I am here courtesy of an NG-CDF bursary. I did my Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) in 2001 and qualified to go to a secondary school. Being a child of a single mother, there was no money to take me to school. My grandfather, may his soul rest in peace, approached the Member of Parliament for Molo, Hon. Mukiri Macharia, and asked him to support me. I went to Kieni Mixed Day Secondary School for four years. I was supported through Molo Constituency Development Fund (CDF). That is how I was able to complete my secondary school and join Kenyatta University. That is why I am here today as a second term Member of Parliament and the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. If there was no NG-CDF, this would never have happened. Probably, I would be looking after goats and sheep in my remote village, Mukinyai, in Molo. This is so personal to me. In 2017, when I decided to vie to be a Member of Parliament for Molo, I found myself vying against Hon. Mukiri Macharia who educated me through high school and university. It was very tricky for me."
