    "content": "for releasing around Ksh200 million yesterday after a number of leaders visited the headquarters. We believe that this is a sign from the incoming administration. In my opinion, the President’s Speech was short, precise and gave a lot of hope. What is now required is the modalities for its implementation, which we believe will be brought to the House for deliberation and approval or otherwise. The promised allocation of Hustlers Fund worth Kshs.50 billion is being waited for with a lot of anxiety and hope. The expectation is that it will complement the good work of other devolved Funds like the Uwezo Fund, Youth Fund and the Women Enterprise Fund, but not to replace them in one form or the other. The people out there are expecting additional funds in the forms of the Hustlers Fund. Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is a great concern at the grassroots on the status of the NG- CDF. There appears to be a lack of clarity on its status following pronouncements by the courts. This is a matter that requires to be resolved; and I fully support the Petition that has been brought by other colleagues so that this matter can be resolved in a timely manner to enable us work and support activities in the field, especially the children who are still out of school due to lack of school fees. The commitment by the President in Paragraphs 49 and 50 of his Speech gives a lot of hope that the CDF will continue. I believe it will get the necessary support from Members of the National Assembly. Finally, I affirm from the Floor of this House that I will diligently serve the people of Voi, which is cosmopolitan and, by extension, this great nation without fear or favour to the benefit of all Kenyans at large through my deliberations in the National Assembly. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
