    "content": "(Kwanza, FORD-K): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity at long last. First and foremost, I want to thank Hon. Muriu for coming up with this very important Motion. How I wish that the Chairman of the NG-CDF Committee was present. I think most of what we are talking about involves him. I hope you will have time to brief him on the Members’ perspectives on the same. I stand to support this Motion because funding must be expanded to accommodate the changes in our education sector. Again, this is our own making. We should look for ways and means of increasing the NG-CDF funding sanctioned under Section 27 of the NG-CDF Act, 2015. This is because it has to include the new programme. It is important to do that because the population of this country has increased. In fact, that is why we have a new education curriculum. My take is that we should look into the NG-CDF programme afresh. I think the most important thing now is that if this Motion is passed, we shall seek to have the NG-CDF funding increased from 35 per cent to 45 per cent or 50 per cent. On the feeding programme, I have a question mark. This is because in the past, it was abused at the grassroots level. Parents misunderstood the essence of the feeding programme.
