    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I will take over from you my colleagues, Members who have spoken before me, to thank the co-sponsors of this legislative proposal to amend the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2022, Hon Gichimu and Hon Mule, for this very timely legislative proposal. The NG-CDF is a transformative development agenda which has actually transformed lives of many Kenyans in the 290 constituencies. For example, the 57 billion that has been spent on bursaries in the last five years only is not just a number but resources that have been used to touch the lives of six million students who have benefited from these bursary funds in all the 290 constituencies. We should make it very clear by saying that NG-CDF is actually a concept that promotes localisation of development in this country. This is because it is facilitating the shifting of power, responsibility and decision making of development to the local stakeholders. We have been told and we know NG-CDF has been used to construct classrooms dormitories, administrative blocks, libraries, toilets, purchase of school buses, staff houses in schools, chiefs’ offices and police posts in all the 290 constituencies."
