    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important matter pertaining to the NG-CDF. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we were together in the duration of 2013-2017 but I did not came back for the 12th Parliament. However, I am back for the 13th Parliament. I am here courtesy of the NG-CDF because of the bursaries I awarded students from Thika Constituency. As we speak, my offices have bulk forms of bursaries because most of the students never even resumed back to school this term because of lack of fees. When I was a Member of Parliament, I built a police divisional headquarters in a place called Koriba. The level of insecurity in that area at that time was so much. Of all my wards, it is the only one without insecurity issues. I think the NGO that went to court is alien. Maybe they do not live in Kenya. If they do, they should have experience on what parents are going through. People assume the NG-CDF belongs Members of Parliament. It is like we use this money as we wish. What they do not understand is that there is a board which assigns those projects to be to be undertaken at our constituency levels. We need to discuss this matter without fear of anybody. Every Member of Parliament has his or her money. We are employed by Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) but we were hired by our constituents. We have our salary but the people we represent have nothing. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for informationpurposes only.
