    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The NG- CDF is an extremely important fund that has implemented quite a number of projects, especially in education, security and in supporting the talent development of our young people. When it comes to the constitutional amendment to ensure that this fund is well guarded and entrenched in the sovereign law of this country, it is important that the Joint Committee considering this amendment ensures it is not only anchored it in the Constitution, but also increased in allocation. That is so that the impact of this fund is felt across this country and we increase the areas where the NG-CDF implements projects. We know the problems we are having in this country as far as water and irrigation projects are concerned. We can only change the lives of the citizens of this country if we work on education, water, security and the health sector. It is important to increase the allocation to this fund. The 90 days given to this Joint adhoc Committee are important for this House to have a holistic entrenchment of those funds in our Constitution. I support this extension.
