    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (Amendment) Bill. I want to thank the Committee for the good job they have done to come up with such an amendment. When I talk about the NG-CDF, I know how it is benefiting people. If I may go back to my constituency since I joined Parliament in 2017, I know how I have transformed it through the NG-CDF. The work we are doing with this Fund is helping the community. When we talk about the JSS classes, our pupils are suffering. There is a lot of commotion in our schools. This is the time we should rush and help our people because we are in hardship. When you see where the economy is, it is only the NG-CDF that will rescue our people. I want to talk to those who are against this NG-CDF (Amendment) Bill and tell them that it is a plus to us, as Members of Parliament. We are looking at how we can improve the living standards of our people. One way we can improve the living standards of our people is through education. Education is key. I know how people are suffering down in the villages. When we take the initiative to support the people through improvement of infrastructure, that will change someone’s life. Last week, I toured my constituency and I went through my schools, which are over 182 schools."
