    "content": " I am here, Hon. Speaker. I rise to debate this very important matter, which is the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF). I also want to put a lot of emphasis on the National Government Affirmative Action Fund, having been its immediate former CEO. When the President addressed this House, he accepted that the NG-CDF should be put in the Constitution. This must be the first constitution amendment Bill for this House to consider. If you heard the Mover speak, the development that this Fund has brought about in the constituencies is an indicator that it is the only Fund that has been put to good use in this country. The reason we have many Kenyans crying is that money from this Fund has not been disbursed as yet. The Fund has public support. Without mincing my words, let me say that every item on the Budget of the Government with regard to NG-CDF will not reach Wanjiku if it is not made central. There are other initiatives that the Government wants to use to reach the public like the Hustler Fund and the rest. However, NG-CDF is the only Fund that touches the lives of persons on the ground. If you look at the Hustler Fund, there are conditions laid for you to get it. The NG-CDF cuts across. As we do the amendments and take this proposal for public participation, I would like it to be looked at this way.... I appreciate what you have said, Hon. Speaker, that there are drafters in this House who are picking what Members are saying The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
