    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker for this opportunity to add my voice in congratulating the Chairperson of NG-CDF Committee for steering the Fund well at a time when the country is experiencing extreme challenges in its cash flow. I also want to take this opportunity to thank my NG-CDF Committee for West Mugirango Constituency for being very fair in the distribution of the bursaries. We have already sorted out the secondary school goers. Today we released cheques for the university students and we are waiting for the balance from the NG-CDF for us to finish with the tertiary institutions. As an educationist, you know that education is an equalizer. This country must be deliberate in ensuring that every child who needs intervention in their education, attains their dream in learning and is given that support. The NG-CDF is the fund that will do that. It is the people's fund. It helps children from poor families actualise their dreams. I am proud that my constituency is at the front line of ensuring that every child is supported in education. While at it, I also need to sympathise with the NG-CDF because they have not got timely disbursements from the Exchequer. They have been able to avail money soonest and that has helped our children in terms of school fees. I cannot fail to recognise and appreciate heads and principals of schools who have exercised patience by not sending home children who depend on bursary support for their education. I particularly celebrate the principals from West Mugirango Constituency who after consultation accepted to retain students as we waited for the constituency bursary disbursement. If we cooperate with stakeholders we will ensure that every child who deserves support in education gets it. I must appeal to all those who have been lucky to be appointed to the Committees or the Constituency Committees of NG-CDF throughout the country: they have a responsibility The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
