    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this debate. I also wish to congratulate the movers of this legislative proposal for the following reasons. I support it because the NG-CDF is the only decentralised fund that reaches every corner of the country. It is also the only fund that has made a significant influence on the lives of the majority of the Kenyan people. This has changed the lives of people across the country, and it has touched the lives of the poor people. The NG-CDF, especially through its bursary program, has contributed to educating many school children from the vulnerable members of the society. As I talk, since this financial year started, many students have dropped out of school for lack of bursary which has traditionally been there. If this money will not be disbursed, and it should be disbursed before December, and the children are going to Form One or going back to school, then it will lead to another large rate of poor transition. That means many children will not go to school and for that reason, we urge the Treasury to release this money as soon as possible. Considering the drought situation in the country, many people have difficulties feeding themselves, and as you have seen on the television, they are searching for wild fruits to eat. There is lack of water for their animals and themselves. Members of Parliament have been approached to provide water through the water trucking system, and they have no money to do this. It will just cause more suffering to the people. The proposal is good. On the issue of the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
