    "content": "constructed because of the funds from the NG-CDF. Therefore, entrenching these funds in the Constitution will ensure that the development of this country continues uninterrupted. I want to believe that every Member has a project in his or her constituency that was done through the NG-CDF. I would also wish to thank the Government for continuing to increase the NG-CDF funding. In the last Parliament, the NG-CDF distributed to several constituencies was just the same, but in the 13th Parliament, they will distribute as per the size of the constituency and the wards in that constituency. I am supporting that the NG-CDF be entrenched in the Constitution, so that we can continue with development in our areas. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also want to support the Senate Oversight Fund. For a very long time, Senate has undertaken oversight without funds. It is very crucial to give them funding so that they can continue with what they are supposed to do. The funding to the NGAAF has also been limited. Therefore, entrenching this in the Constitution will guarantee the development of our constituencies and the whole country without interruption. As it is, although we believe we will still receive the NG-CDF, the Supreme Court had ruled it unconstitutional. By entrenching it, we will never have to deal with this issue again, and development will continue. Every time I am home, the constituents ask me when they will receive the NG-CDF. They have always budgeted for the fund. They also believe that the NG-CDF is one of the funds whose development can be seen, compared to other funds from the Government. I want to support the proposal that we continue with the NG-CDF and more so, entrench it in the Constitution. This will ensure that the fund continues to support our country’s development. I support the proposal."
