    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance to support the amendment to the NG-CDF Bill. This Fund has been proven to be the only Fund that has effectively reached the common man down there. The community has really benefited from it. I am wondering why someone would oppose it taking into consideration the number of students who have been aided by the bursary that is given through NG-CDF. The scope that is undertaken by the NG-CDF is quite important to wananchi because things like environment, security and classrooms are normally constructed and renovated by the NG-CDF and everybody can see. I wonder why the people opposing it cannot go around the country, conduct a survey, see the impact and try to ask wananchi whether that Fund is effective. I believe if they could only do that, they could see that these funds are the only ones that are effectively felt by wananchi down there. Going forward, I wish to see an increase in the scope and the funds so as to support more socio-economic activities by wananchi. I believe that if that is done, the classrooms that are deplorable in our constituencies will be made aesthetically conducive for learning in schools. I wish the person who introduced the CDF – I am proud that he comes from my constituency – could be awarded a medal. Members will agree with me that, this is the only Fund that can go all the way and reach the poor children in our constituencies and make them realise their dreams of going to school and undertaking courses.
