    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for according me this opportunity to make a few comments on this legislative proposal that was tabled on the Floor of this House by Hon Gichimu and Hon Mule. First, I support this Motion and may it be fast-tracked to conclusion. The four items stated in this proposal are important for this country. While this discussion was going on, I went back to my email and I was able to trace a CDF cheque that was mailed to me when I was in the university by the Constituency Office of Emgwen under the stewardship of Hon Alex Kosgey. I thank him for having considered and given me a bursary for my university studies. Three months later, I remember there was a serious discussion about scrapping the CDF. Then I was very active on social media. I remember vehemently venting in with regard to scrapping of CDF. Of course, this was fuelled by the fact that I had been a recent beneficiary of the said Fund. I remember saying many things with regard to the Fund and wondered why someone would want such a fund that had raised the schooling standards of this country scrapped. The Fund also introduced polytechnics that were unheard of. I wondered why someone would want CDF removed yet a good number of students depended on it for schooling. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this legislative proposal. The beneficiaries of this Fund are truly needy people. They are people from humble backgrounds that cannot sustain their schooling or backgrounds that cannot afford them a chance to take their children to private schools. I support this because when it is entrenched in the Constitution, it will reduce the number of busybodies who want to scrap it at their own will because they do not know its importance. I also want to speak on the issue of the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NG-AAF). I thank my predecessors because through the NG-AAF, Nandi County has a structure that can rehabilitate drug addicts, alcoholics and people with mental issues. Courtesy of NG-AAF, Nandi County is going to have this facility that will help many people—people The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
