    "content": "members of the public who listened very carefully to what the Bill is all about. They opposed some of the issues we have raised here which we will remove from the NG-CDF Act. Because of the court issue, they accepted them. They were requesting for a referendum to air their views and put forward the interest of this country. This would shame the busybodies who always go to court because they fight the basic things that help members of the society. This Bill will address the big issue of the Supreme Court matter that challenged NG- CDF Act, 2015 which is still pending. Once we have NG-CDF Act, 2023, it will mute NG- CDF Act, 2015. Therefore, we shall be guaranteed of the amount of money which we are supposed to get. The biggest milestones which we have achieved is dealing with national Government projects and making constituencies the delivery units for all national Government projects which is a way in the right direction. We have climate change and digital hubs issues which we want to do in all 1,450 wards. We already have two digital hubs in my constituency. This Bill will bring life into them because we shall pay the recurrent expenditures which are there. Our young fellows are making money. We have people who make between Ksh10,000 and Ksh5,000 a week in my constituency. These translate to Ksh40,000 and Ksh20,000 in a month which is a milestone. We need to encourage and ask Members to really support this initiative of changing our country into a digital compliant country. When you have a business, you do not need to travel far away. You are able to make money where you are. The 14 clauses of the Bill have been explained well by Deputy Leader of the Majority Party and Deputy Leader of the Minority Party. So, I do not want to go back to that point. The only thing I will add is that we need to support our economy and take care of the environment. We should engage the youth in growing seedlings and put up digital hubs for them. That way, we shall eradicate poverty from our villages. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support."
