    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I hereby support the Motion before this august House to amend the Constitution to anchor the NG-CDF in it. This will help in developing our rural areas especially where the national Government has been very rare in the past and even in the present. The CDF Act, 2013, was done away with by an honourable court because it was not anchored in the Constitution and was not tailored in a way that it could work together with devolution. There was collision in one way or the other between the county governments and activities of the CDF where MPs used to be the patrons and used to oversee. However, the NG-CDF Act of 2015 which came up with the NG-AAF and the NG- CDF was tailored in a way that it does not conflict with county governments developments. In the existing circumstances and due to the judgment, which has already been delivered by the court, we are operating on shaky grounds. It is therefore necessary that the NG-CDF is entrenched in the Constitution. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
