    "content": " Good! You know I used to be a teacher of English. What I am saying is that in order for us to run away from that problem, it is very important that we anchor the NG-CDF and the NGAAF in the Constitution. The NG-CDF is one of those funds which have brought a lot of development in this country. There are children in this country who can only access education because they receive money from the NG-CDF. There are villages in this country where the only development they have seen is through their Members of Parliament initiating projects funded by the NG-CDF. The NG-CDF is a fund we must protect from all angles so that it can continue to take this country forward. Imagine what we have done with the Ksh44 billion that we get through NG-CDF. Suppose we even got double that amount? This country will move in leaps and bounds in terms of development. We are duty-bound, as Members of Parliament, to use the power of legislation to actually anchor the NG-CDF in the Constitution, however much time it takes. I believe we are duty-bound, as Members of Parliament, to anchor in the Constitution the NG-CDF since it brings Kenyans to almost the same level in terms of equitable resource allocation for development."
