    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have been very patient like you advised. It has really taken me a long time, since 2.30 p.m. to now. However, I am happy that you have given me the opportunity. Thank you once again. NG-CDF is a lifeline education fund for the less fortunate. We know that Kenya has very many poor people who rely totally on NG-CDF to educate their children. NG-CDF has done a lot for us in matters education and security. In the education sector, I want to emphasise first on NG-CDF because that is really the main topic we have. Before I go into details, I want to thank my colleagues who brought this amendment. This is necessary so that NG-CDF can be anchored in our Constitution. It should be increased from 2.5 to 5 per cent. Considering the use of NG-CDF, even the 5 per cent we are asking for in this amendment is still little. We can even go to 10 per cent. Maybe, they will applaud or blame you. We are not asking for that now; we are asking for a meagre 5 per cent. I believe this will sail through without any hindrance because that amount is not that big. NG- CDF is a fund of results because whatever is done by it is visible. It is not something you can look for but rather you can see. If it is building infrastructure, you can see the building itself. Yu do not have to search for it. I would say that accounting for it is easy because the results are visible. I want to say that many children rely on it for education. Many parents also rely on NG- CDF and, therefore, we cannot afford to disappoint those children, parents and guardians. If you do away with NG-CDF, you will have killed this nation now and in future. Many parents might even be tempted to commit suicide without NG-CDF because without it, it means no education for their children. Many parents will see the future of their children totally destroyed The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
