    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to contribute to the matter of NG-CDF. I want to put the record straight that this Fund is not for Members. It is a Fund for those functions that have not been categorised as devolved. You are aware that under the Constitution, some functions are under the National Government while others are under county government. In order to support projects earmarked for National Government, including infrastructure development for secondary and primary schools, we require the NG-CDF. I agree with the proposal that we enhance the resource allocation of these funds from 2.5 to 5 per cent of national revenue. This will enable students in our constituencies to get enhanced bursary allocations. It can even be enhanced to more than 50 per cent so that we do not have situations where students are sent home because of school fees."
