    "content": "In my constituency, I cannot profess or say that there is anything I have seen being carried out by the national Government during my lifetime. No projects at all. Not even building an office of the chief or the assistant chief or a school other than one building that houses the Deputy County Commissioner (DCC). It is only one during my lifetime. You can see I am not young. It is only through the NG-CDF that things started taking shape in constituencies. Today, you can find upcoming offices or new buildings; structures of either chiefs, assistant chiefs, Asssistant County Commissioners (ACCs), schools and laboratories, or anything else that can be traced to the national Government through the NG-CDF. The amendments to the NG-CDF Act are very important. As they are, they are giving it some strength to withstand the storm of being taken to court now and then by activists who are very much against the NG-CDF. They always profess that there is a conflict of interest when it comes to separation of powers. If passed as it is, the public is going to be a great beneficiary of the same without getting worried that projects started are going to be left halfway because of court orders or threats from activists who live in the major towns and do not know what takes place in rural areas. This Bill needs to be supported by any Kenyan, who thinks of our people who live in the rural areas and the less fortunate ones, because they have no other access of any national resource, other than through the NG-CDF. I, therefore, support the Bill wholeheartedly."
