    "content": "All of us in the National Assembly face one problem every January and February. Most secondary school going children come to us asking to be sponsored because they have been admitted to certain schools and are unable to pay fees. Therefore, we intend to enshrine this fund in the Constitution to secure our children’s future and betterment of the lives of our people as enshrined in the Constitution. I agree that we need to amend our Constitution and enshrine the NG-CDF together with the NGAAF, so that our young people’s projects can be funded using this money constitutionally and not through an Act of Parliament, so that nobody can then wake up in the morning and say it is unconstitutional. We have also realised the gender issue is serious. We do not want to be like the 12th Parliament, but want to do our part. I will be among the people supporting amendments to the Constitution for the National Assembly to do its part in complying with the two-thirds gender rule. Some argue it is expensive, but in the Constitution, we created a responsibility for ourselves to ensure that we are compliant with the two-thirds gender rule."
