    "content": " Thank you for protecting me. I was saying that people who have forgotten where they have come from can easily make a mistake like this one. I stand here as a living witness of a child who was raised without a daddy and by a very poor widow who could not tell where the next meal will come from. My determination was to knock on any door that would offer support in terms of payment of fees. So, the NG- CDF and the NGAAF should not be tampered with by people who do not understand that there are children out there who fully depend on the financial support from these funds. I also want to mention that the NG-CDF in real sense touches the base of the country. We cannot have a monopoly of dictatorship of a kind, that this kind of fund should only be managed in a particular corner, because we will be killing the spirit of devolution. If we have the NG-CDF disbursed to every constituency, it means that it will be upon them to make sure that they develop their own area. If somebody fails, then it will be upon that Member and not a particular docket. I looked at the Motion and I was so happy to realise that, at least, there is somebody who feels and wants to fill up the gap of the poor and needy people. When I reflect on my own county, we have girls who have been coming to me and applying to go back to school. If anybody sits in Nairobi and wants to control everything from here, they will not understand that particular girl from a village that even google map right now has not mapped. So, let Members handle and manage it and make sure that it continues to empower and support the really needy people in the society."
