    "content": " Hon Temporary Speaker, I want to contribute to the legislative proposal to amend the Constitution under Standing Order 1(4)(7) (A). I start by commenting on the issue of NG-CDF. We held our elections on 9th August 2022; and all of us have been elected and re-elected by our voters knowing that NG-CDF is there. NG-CDF is a social need. You cannot separate NG-CDF from a common person. We are facing a challenging situation in Kajiado South Constituency because of drought. When we visit our people, they are in pain because they cannot afford things like food and school fees to take their children to school. I want the Members and the public to know that NG-CDF is very useful. There is evidence of the number of schools that have been done and the number of students who have attended schools under this Fund. If you compare the month of September up to now, and the month of May to August, you will find out that there are many school dropouts. I only have 22 secondary schools in my constituency. The enrolment number that we are waiting in January therefore, is about 11,000 students. Our schools however, can only accommodate 2,000. Where then, will the surplus of the students go to? It is my prayer that we pass this legislative proposal to amend the Constitution"
