    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to make a comment in support of this legislative proposal. I support it because I have many people who have been dependent on NG-CDF and are now crying a lot because they cannot get bursaries to support their children. NG-CDF is very important to the people of Kenya. Since its establishment 19 years ago, it has facilitated and enhanced development throughout Kenya. You have heard Members saying that the fund is very important in their constituencies. It has done a lot. It has financed putting up of infrastructure such as boreholes in schools and access roads to educational facilities. During the 11th Parliament, I built 11 schools in Isiolo North. I wish to be like Hon. Rachel who has built more schools because she has been here for three terms. I wish to build more schools in consultation with the communities. On management of NG-CDF funds, trust with contractors is very important. It gives a lot of confidence and hope to the contractors, communities and to people with children in schools. An amendment to the Constitution to entrench NG-CDF will give confidence to Members and build capacities of all students and teachers in schools. I agree with Hon. Wandayi that the delay in disbursing NG-CDF funds causes frustrations to the people of this country. They call and text every day and night asking for bursaries to enable their children go to school. I support the Motion that NG-CDF should be included in the Constitution. Thank you."
