    "content": "CDF. There are young children with dreams who are in their homes, villages and schools. For their dreams to come through, they need this funding. Otherwise, they will not go to school. Then there is the issue of security. This funding was also helping police stations. Even in my headquarters back in Chesumei Constituency called Chemundu Police Station, the officers there are in a pathetic situation. They live in houses that look like chicken houses. I was surprised that there are Government offices and police stations that look like those in Chemundu. They look like sheep houses. If we do not get this funding, I fear many more things will go wrong with security. I wonder because the level of accountability with NG-CDF funding is so high. It is not in the mandate of an MP. I also wonder why the Senate would want to be given these funds to oversee. We need them more because we are the ones to be held accountable in case something goes wrong. The NG-CDF is also subject to public participation. People go for public participation in order for NG-CDF funds to be disbursed. If any other complaints emanate from the disbursement of NG-CDF, I know there is a mechanism for redress. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I stand here very confused as a Member of Parliament. This is because whoever wants to take away NG-CDF is a real enemy of not only the people of Kenya, but also the low-class people because they are the ones who benefit most from NG- CDF. Therefore, I would like it to be entrenched in the Constitution, so we can have an end to this debate."
