"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am glad to get an opportunity to speak on this Motion. On record, let me mark myself as present, as the Chairlady of Regional Integration Committee because earlier in this session, the Leader of the Majority Party was speaking strongly on how committee chairpersons do not attend sessions. I am sure that, Hon. Temporary Speaker, you know that I am one of the Members who do not miss any session. I come from Nyandarua and it is very important that I speak on this Motion and bring to the attention of Members that the idea of the CDF hails from Nyandarua through the then Member for Ol Kalou Constituency, our first Senator, Hon. (Eng) Muriuki Karue. He is the father of the CDF. He was also very instrumental in the establishment of National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF). It is important that the Woman Representatives in this 13th Parliament know that I was also very instrumental in the establishment of the same, together with Hon. Kajuju, Hon. Priscilla Nyokabi, Hon. Gladys Wanga, among many other Woman Representatives. That clearly puts the records straight that Nyandarua’s leaders are very progressive. I associate myself with all points that have been made by the Members who have spoken before me, but I will not associate myself with the views of two Members, namely, Hon. Ng’eno and Hon. Chepkonga, that this Report is stale. From the Oxford Dictionary’s description of the word “stale”, a report can never be stale. The contents of this Report highlight a number of issues that can be implemented today and in future. For instance, the Report speaks of late disbursement of funds. It was an issue then, and it still is today. Late disbursement of funds delays implementation. When we all go to ask for votes, we inform our electorate that “This is my manifesto and by the end of my term, I intend to have my secondary school look The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
