    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, in my community, we say that it is only the orange tree that has good fruits that receives all the stones thrown. When children come from school and find ripe oranges on a tree that they cannot climb because its owner may find them, they will pick stones and throw at the oranges and when the oranges fall down, they will pick them and go. The sustained attack on the NG-CDF is because it has transformed the rural areas of this country. Wherever you go in this country, the only noticeable thing of the national Government is the NG-CDF. Because of that, it has attracted a lot of envy from governors, the NGO world and the bureaucrats themselves because they feel whatever they could have done, the NG-CDF has already done. It has removed the habit of members of the public calling for harambees every day to build schools and do things like that. So, I want to urge my colleagues that we oversight as required by Article 95 of the Constitution. Our role remains simply to be oversee. The Members of Parliament have no role to play at all in the management of the NG- CDF. Let us oversee for the good of the people of Kenya."
