    "content": "construct a technical institute worth Ksh60 million. I did that because I realised there is a challenge of youth unemployment in our country. If we can construct Technical Training Institutes (TTIs) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges to provide empowerment skills to our youths, then to some extent we will be empowering our jobless youths. It is the same NG-CDF that has given us an opportunity to support our police officers in terms of constructing offices for them. Before the previous dictatorship against our officers, we used to support the police officers to get residential houses through NG-CDF. Let it also be noted that it is through NG-CDF that we have managed to construct offices for the assistant chiefs, chiefs and deputy county commissioners (DCCs) to give them a good working environment. I, therefore, would like to say that NG-CDF must be supported no matter the cost. Right now, there is a global voice that climate change is real. It is affecting all of us. Environmental matters also benefit from the NG-CDF. I have used money from the Fund to buy tanks for some schools given the water scarcity in this country. Water shortage is a big problem to institutions and communities. The NG-CDF has enabled us to buy tanks to provide water for our communities. Through the same Fund, we have bought seedlings and we are now campaigning that people must plant trees. The role that Members of Parliament are playing through NG-CDF in their constituencies is so important that it cannot be ignored. Whoever ignores the role of NG-CDF is a foolish person, if I may use a bad word to describe them. The Fund has saved lives of hopeless single mothers who do not have a place to go to for help. They run to the NG-CDF offices to seek bursaries for their children. Given all the issues I have mentioned today, any man or a woman who is against the NG-CDF has no plans and dreams for the future generations."
