    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report of NADCO. The rationale behind it was so that we can have a conversation on the way forward in regard to pertinent matters that concern all of us devoid of party positions and ideologies. I have skimmed through the Report and a few issues piqued my interest. The first issue is the entrenchment of the Ward Development Fund. It is time we gave legitimacy to the office of the MCA. This will enable them to have independence from the County Executive. We have often seen push and pull in the division of resources. Most MCAs who sometimes find themselves on the wrong side of County Executives are not able to launch any project for their people. These people have been elected by their various wards to ensure that they cater for them and represent their interests. The Two-Thirds Gender Rule is of concern to me. It is worth noting that the Leader of the Minority Party has pronounced himself that anything that will be discussed by the multi- sectoral working group regarding the Two-Thirds Gender Rule and any recommendations about the same will be adopted as part of the NADCO Report. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
