    "content": " I take this opportunity to give a reply on this Motion. It has been deliberated on and really debated by Members who were active. The interest on NG-CDF in this country can never be overemphasised. It is the mainstay of every constituency. Without the NG-CDF, there would be no development. In fact, the NG-CDF is the equaliser of all developments in this country. Whether you are in Government or not, you will get funding. Therefore, activists in this country have gone beyond and overboard. Some of them are trying to play the role Okiya Omtatah was doing. They think that they will be Senators like Okiya. It is time they know that it is not activism which will develop this country. We need patriots in this country so that we can have a good country in terms of development. I am one of the Members who served in this House without the CDF, during the 1997- 2002 term. We sold our properties. We gave everything we had so that our people could give us another chance to run because we were paying fees or doing harambees for schools, funerals and even bursaries to all schools. I can assure you that the NG-CDF has brought real change to the development in this country. When you look at the development of CBC, as has been mentioned by many, nobody talks about the wrong or the bad structures put up by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. Nobody even thinks or has a second opinion on it. They just say that the Government has done it. We are being looked at so seriously, to deliver. It is good for you as a Member to do it."
