    "content": "country and environment green. In my constituency, we have had programmes to plant trees in many schools. We even plant avocado trees. Over the weekend, I took time to go to many places and I was very happy to see avocado seedlings we donated to schools doing very well. We did this to provide schools with alternative sources of income. I went to St. Johns Gaikama Boarding Primary School and Kigaa Primary School and found avocado seedlings we donated doing very well. In a few months, the schools are going to have income from the avocado trees. Hon. Temporary Speaker, 2 per cent of the NG-CDF is allocated to sports. I can tell this House and Kenyans that the amount is never enough. We always support sports in our constituencies. There are many talented young people who want to try their hands in sports but funds are insufficient. Doubling allocation to the Fund will enable us to double the amount set aside for sports and we will be able to consider other games. Sometimes we can only support football for young men and women. With more funds, we shall be able to include other games. There is a misconception in this country that the NG-CDF belongs to Members of Parliament. It does not belong to Members of Parliament. It belongs to the people of Kenya and benefits them. Its success stories are known all over the country, including in this House. We have people like me who have benefited from the NG-CDF and I am one of them. At one time, my school fees was paid through the NG-CDF and here I am serving my second-term as a Member of Parliament. If we continue supporting our students, in the near future, we will see other people coming up with other success stories through the support that they would have received."
