    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to support that the NG-CDF need to be anchored in the Constitution. This is long overdue. Children and vulnerable people in Kenya have been waiting for this to happen. The NG-CDF is very important to students who benefit from bursaries, and for construction of classrooms. This Fund also helps in constructing chiefs and assistant chiefs offices and many other infrastructures for security purposes. It is prudent for the children in Kajiado, Nairobi, Lokichogio and in every part of the country to benefit from this. It is quite wrong to deny Hon. Members the NG-CDF. This is because, if you go to the ground and find out what is happening, you will see the difference between what NG-CDF and what the county governments have done. Billions of shillings are appropriated to the county governments and yet, you can see very little development compared to development funded through the NG-CDF. If you go to the respective constituencies, NG-CDF projects can be seen in every corner of the constituencies. I support the proposal that the NG-CDF should be anchored in the Constitution so that what I will do today and in years to come can serve as a record that can be seen. In my constituency, I have over 140 public primary schools and 45 secondary schools and yet, we are allocated the same amount of money as the people of Starehe Constituency. My constituency is about 7,910 square kilometres. It is also important for us to see to it that later on, these allocations are not equal."
