    "content": "offices. I have seen that in my county, where Members of Parliament have done excellent work. I want to say that the job has been done well. As we also talk about NG-CDF and the success story around it, we also need to think about the NGAAF money that is allocated to Women Representatives. The Women Representatives are doing great work with the little money they get. They do not construct schools, but do other works related to schools. Sometimes, they buy beds for boarding schools, especially where there are none. I have done that as the Women Representative for Siaya County. I have made many beds for boarders because they are sharing beds or sometimes they sleep on the floor, and it is not healthy. As we talk about NG-CDF, never forget about NGAAF because they are sisters. They work together as a team. We work together with Members of Parliament but, unfortunately, our money is far too little, and we cover such a vast area. We have a whole county. I cover six constituencies with 30 Wards. It is difficult to bring development with such an amount when covering an entire county. I want to highlight that we should never forget about Women Representatives, whose money is too little. When the Bill comes to this House, let us support them as well and increase the NGAAF money so that they can do a better job that is equal to the task of NG-CDF. All of us are great performers. We want the best for our counties. What matters to all of us, be it a Women Representative or a Member of Parliament, is that we need money to bring development to our people. So, let us support each other in increasing the funds for any of them. Thank you. I support the reports."
