"content": "Hon. Speaker, due to the critical role NG-CDF and National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) and the Senate Oversight Fund play, we recommended that they be entrenched in our Constitution, more importantly, entrenching the Ward Development Fund to ensure that all our Members of County Assembly (MCAs) have access to a Ward Development Fund. No MCA will have to kneel before a Governor to access the Ward Development Funds. We also recommended that the Fund be established by Statute in accordance to Article 207(4) (b) of the Constitution. This will ensure that our ward representatives are able to carry out their role of oversight of governors without anyone cajoling or intimidating them that they will miss out on development funds for their wards. Upon adoption of this Report and enactment of the requisite legislative proposals, MCAs will have development funds allocated to their respective wards."
