    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to give my comments regarding the reports before us. At the outset, I am a very excited supporter of NG-CDF because we often talk about national expenditure and what the Government is doing. Still, the citizens of Kenya cannot conceptualize precisely what or who the Government is. We think that the Government is an amorphous figure seated somewhere and especially, in so far as development is concerned. The NG-CDF demystifies what Government is in as far as projects are concerned, especially community projects. Anyone going around the country would see the kind of changes the NG-CDF has brought to our communities. Hardly can you go to any corner of Kenya without seeing the significance of the NG-CDF with regard to projects that touch members in our localities, especially in the ‘deepest’ villages of Kenya. Therefore, we must keep on supporting the NG-CDF in all ways. We are already doing that through the Budget. I am sure that will be mentioned tomorrow in as far as the NG-CDF is concerned. I always feel that other devolved funds can borrow a lot from the NG-CDF structurally. The way the NG-CDF is administered can be a good learning book for any country and within our country with regard to development funds. This is a Fund where out of every Kshs100 allocated, Ksh95 goes to tangible development projects. When we talk about real development projects… The NG-CDF is not only a kitty for building infrastructure, but it is also a kitty for adding value to the human resource which is a critical resource that we have in the country. Comparatively, the NG-CDF across the 290 constituencies is the biggest supporter of education. It is only number two after the Ministry of Education. It goes a long way in adding 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."
