    "content": "Fund is a revolving fund which is supposed to be given to registered groups. After some time, the groups repay the money so that other groups benefit. The same applies to Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) and Women Enterprise Development Fund (WEDF). Those are monies that are supposed to be taken by registered women and youth groups and repaid so that other groups can also benefit. They are different types of community funds. We need to have a programme of civic education to educate Kenyans on those funds. Nobody should be opposed to any money going to the community. For this reason, I support all the devolved funds to be protected by the Constitution. I am requesting all of them to be anchored in the Constitution. Maybe, whoever said that we should do away with the NG-CDF benefited through it in his or her education. It is very bad. We now have the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC). The students who are pursuing it will sit for their examinations soon. They are supposed to go to school. If someone chooses to do away with the NG-CDF, it is very bad. Both the NG-CDF and the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) assist students from extremely vulnerable families to go to school. It is not good for our children to stay at home just because there is no money. School fees should be taken care of 100 per cent by the Government in this country."
