    "content": "two new secondary schools just for girls, that have 1,800 students. Girls did not have a secondary school when I became a Member of Parliament. This is done by the NG-CDF, and not any other government fund. You know the people who are taking the NG-CDF case to the courts are the ones who work in Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO). These are people who are members of the bourgeois community who live comfortable lives in areas like Karen, Lavington, Kitisuru and Muthaiga. They live in posh houses and their children are driven in top-range four-wheel drive vehicles to private schools. These people do not understand the difficult lives of our ordinary people. That is why they use the resources they have to punish Members of Parliament. However, they do not punish Members of Parliament because Members are not affected and their children are not affected. These people are waging war against the ordinary poor people of Kenya. These are sadistic miserable people who, I think, are using their time negatively. We do not need to be a country of scores of millionaires and millions of poor people. We do not want to continue to perpetuate inequalities and the social injustices that exist historically in our country. We want to change that. The NG-CDF has changed and made an impact. That is why we need to move forward. I support and congratulate Mheshimiwa Stephen Mule and Mheshimiwa Gichimu Githinji for bringing this Motion. I call upon the government not to waste any time by holding the NG-CDF funds. Release the NG-CDF funds while we are working on long-term solutions to this particular problem so that we can entrench the NG-CDF in our national laws, and make sure that we meet the needs of our poor people."
