"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this debate. I have sat patiently waiting for this time. Knowing the kind of person that the President is, being a Member of Parliament from the region he comes from, and being a member of his party that brought me to this Parliament, I will definitely support whatever Motion he proposes to the House. I know what calibre of a man he is and I know what he wants is for the best interest of this country. Many things have been spoken about. We are in concurrence that NG-CDF is not for the benefit of Members of Parliament. I strongly support anchoring the Fund in the Constitution so that the discussion does not have to always come to the Floor of the House. The NG-CDF, as it is designed, is a Fund that supports Kenyans at the constituency level in development. My colleagues have talked about disbursement of NG-CDF funds. Being a first time Member, I also fault the way bursaries are being issued. People used locations and sub-locations in distributing bursaries, but due to population increase I felt that we should use polling stations. By so doing, we are going to address the issue of unfair disbursement. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
