    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, I want this House to know that we are not debating about NG-CDF on our own behalf. We are representing the voices of our people in the constituencies who yearn for NG-CDF, not the Members of Parliament. If people want to believe that NG-CDF is the only thing that makes Members of Parliament to be re-elected, statistics show that 70 per cent of Members of Parliament get voted out despite having access to NG-CDF. This should not be a matter to be considered. The NG-CDF has taught people about real public participation. It has also ensured equitable distribution of resources in this country. Other African countries like Zambia and Tanzania came to benchmark here in 2015 after we introduced this idea to them. If an idea is good, then it should be allowed to proceed. Finally, I am looking forward to inter-county sports. Sports is dying because of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) politics. I am sure that if NG-CDF is given more funds, we can have inter-county games which would perhaps ensure that our youths are encouraged to participate in sports and become stars in the making. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity."
