    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important Bill which touches on NG-CDF. It means a lot to the communities that we represent in this House. It has helped the community to construct schools. That is why most of our children do not learn under trees. If it were not for this money, some of our children would be learning under trees because they do not have money to construct classrooms. This Fund is really felt by the community at grassroots levels. They feel that they are part of it. When we go for public participation, they decide on their priorities. I really wonder what those who are opposed to this Fund think about. If it were not for it, most of our children would not be in school. It helps them to go on with their education through bursaries that they get. The money can now be used to help primary schools. It will go further to help children who come from very poor families. By doing so, these children will enjoy the same rights that are enjoyed by those who come from families that take care of their school fees and construct classrooms. For that reason, I thank the leadership of this House, both Minority and Majority Parties, for coming up with the amendments to this Bill. I support the Bill. Thank you, for giving me this opportunity to contribute."
