    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to speak on this Auditor’s Report on NG-CDF. Hon. Temporary Speaker, as you said, I am a pioneer Member on matters NG-CDF. We passed the CDF Act in 2003 and I will forever applaud Hon. (Eng.) Muriuki Karue, who came up with the idea of NG-CDF. Let me give a short story about Eng. Muriuki. He used to tell us - because he was also the pioneer Chairman - that development in this country was skewed to the regions that supported the Government of the day. When he was in school, he understood many things. He would attend district commissioner’s and provincial commissioner’s meetings and people would request for projects or development and the answer would be, “Yes, it will be done when funds become available.” So, he kept asking himself when the funds would ever be available. Since that time, he started working hard to be in Parliament and came up with the idea of bringing equality in the country. I also happened to be in the pioneer CDF Committee. At that time, it was just “CDF” and we went around this country. It is unfortunate because at that time, the CDF addressed every need in the constituencies. I remember building many health centres, water projects and maternity wards in health centres."
