    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. To start with, I take this opportunity to thank God, Hon. Raila Odinga and the people of Turkana South for electing me to represent them in this august House. The NG-CDF has undergone several evolutions right from the Act of 2003 to the Act of 2015. The NG-CDF has greatly benefited the constituents of Turkana County. Many students have gone to school. As the Member representing Turkana South Constituency, I am a beneficiary of the NG-CDF which paid for my school fees. My academic and professional achievements were supported by the NG-CDF. I was employed by the NG-CDF Committee as a Fund Account Manager and I understand its operations and workings. It has done a lot for the constituents of Turkana South. The NG-CDF is a conveyor belt of the national Government development programmes to the lowest levels of administration. That is to say that many national Government activities are undertaken through the NG-CDF. The NG-CDF contributes funds to county governments so, we need to appreciate it. The NG-CDF has facilitated the performance and implementation of national Government programmes because it implements some programmes that are supposed to be implemented by the national Government. There is a need for this Fund to be anchored in the Constitution. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
