    "content": "Lastly, is the issue of the Senate Oversight Fund. The main role of the National Assembly and the Senate is oversight. We should be at our utmost ensuring that we do our oversight job very well. This is the only job that cannot be equated to any amount of money. We need to use our resources and energy towards doing oversight of all the money we appropriate as Parliament. As I conclude, I want to agree with the mover of the Motion that we need to amend the Constitution to ensure the future of our children is bright by enshrining the NG-CDF in the Constitution. We also need to make sure that the NG-CDF, which our people believe is the only visible money, continues to exist beyond the 13th Parliament. I support the issue of the NG-CDF, the constitutional amendment to the two-thirds gender rule and the Senate Oversight Fund. I look forward to a healthy debate going forward to make sure that we are part of the history, so that in future, money is distributed equitably to our people whether in Lodwar, Mandera, Taita Taveta, Kajiado and all the other constituencies. Where I come from in Kajiado North, this is the only visible money. When it delays, it becomes a very big burden to the people of Ongata Rongai, Ngong and Kiserian. I look forward to this Parliament enshrining the laws and being part of history so that this money assists every constituency to move forward in all dimensions. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
