    "content": "to provide housing and offices, so that they can be able to discharge their responsibilities and we can have the security that we need. You are probably aware that in Kisii, we produce wonderful sports people. But because we lack the resources to train upcoming sports people, we are lagging behind. The NG-CDF has a responsibility of supporting sporting activities. This is the fund that we are looking forward to, so as to support our upcoming athletes and sports people. In doing so, their talents can be developed. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it will be remiss to ignore the administration of the NG-CDF, and it has substantially lived to the letter and spirit of the Constitution, and in particular Article 201. It speaks to equity, prudence, accountability, public participation and inclusivity. With regard to equity, if you look at the Public Finance Management principles, and you look at how the NG-CDF has been administered in the past and how it has been provided for under the law, it meets all the principles and tenets of equity. It caters for all the demographics in terms of sex, age, religion and regions. It is a pretty good fund in the way it has been modelled. When it comes to prudence in terms of frugality and how it is spent, if you look at what is provided for, for instance in administration, which is akin to recurrent portion of expenditure in the county and the national Government, it is merely six per cent. That means up to 94 per cent goes to development. Look at the county governments and national government, a whopping 60 to 80 per cent go to recurrent expenditure. This means that we are only left with 30 per cent to cater for development. It is not surprising that our roads and hospitals are in a terrible state."
