Gichimu in relation to entrenching the NG-CDF in the Constitution Let me first start by saying whoever is against NG-CDF is the enemy of development in this country. Whoever is against NG-CDF is an enemy of the poor children we take to school, be it colleges, universities or secondary schools. Whoever is against the NG-CDF in this country does not appreciate the great work that Members of Parliament, who vie in single member constituencies, do in this country. Being a Member of Parliament for Njoro Constituency in Nakuru County, I want to confirm that the NG-CDF has changed the lives of people. As I stand here today, I have done over 100 projects in my constituency with money from the Fund. In my first term, I bought over seven buses to support education and also assist members of the community whenever they go for graduations. As I stand here, let me confirm that the orphans in my constituency have an office where they can rush to and get bursaries. Money from the NG-CDF has given me the opportunity to introduce short courses, so that even the pikipiki riders can go for those courses, get fully equipped with knowledge and get the requisite government licenses for operation. The Fund has also helped me to come up with other different courses in the textile or clothing area. The courses accommodate youths from poor backgrounds. I have considered others to pursue courses in electricity, plumbing and catering services. We have many talented youths who took up courses courtesy of the Fund, and are now working in salons and barber shops. So, whoever is against the NG-CDF is the enemy of this country and the enemy of development. Money from the NG-CDF enabled me, in collaboration with the Government, to 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."
