    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker and Hon. Sirma, for the opportunity to make a comment with regard to the ad hoc committee that has been proposed to be formed for purposes of looking at NG-CDF, NG-AAF and the other empowerment funds. I stand in support of establishing the said ad hoc committee. It should have happened earlier. As Members have said, we are at pains to explain why there are no NG- AAF and NG-CDF funds to pay school fees for school-going children. I was moved when I went to pass my condolences in a village called Cheptarit in my home. I found a person by the name Rev. Tello who used to serve in the NG-CDF committee. He said that the woman who had died had six children in school, three of whom were under full scholarship by NG-CDF. They were now all at home because NG-CDF money has not been released and therefore schools could not admit written commitments on the same. Anyone out there who thinks that NG-CDF, NG-AAF and other empowerment funds are not important, I want to tell them that these funds are as important as the breath that everyone takes. They are important to the children who depend on the funds to go to school and have good facilities. I support this Motion and urge Members to support it. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.
