    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this debate, clearly stating that we support the Report of the Auditor-General. Our county governments should learn from what the NG-CDF is doing, especially in project implementation, and ensure that we oversee whatever the NG-CDF committees and the boards are doing. If you move around our constituencies and most of the counties, you will see projects that are done by the NG-CDF on billboards within the constituencies. You will not see anything that the county governments do. We oversee the NG-CDF to ensure that there is proper school infrastructure so that we can participate in the implementation of the new Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) within our constituencies. All these things are happening because the NG-CDF and Members of the National Assembly have implemented and overseen some of those projects. I want to congratulate the President because he recently increased funding for the NG- CDF. He also insisted that the Ministry has no business constructing classes. He gave that responsibility to the NG-CDF. He also allocated an additional Ksh7 million to every constituency to construct new classrooms for pupils in Grades Six and Seven under the CBC. In short, a lot is happening within the constituencies. We are proud of the members of the NG-CDF committees. We are also hopeful that we will receive more funds as we move forward to continue to implement some serious projects, especially on security and infrastructure. You will realise that we do not have enough classrooms due to low funds. As far as the constituencies are concerned, you may want to construct classrooms and ensure the security of the area. Therefore, we support the NG-CDF. We are waiting for the Report of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) to ensure that the NG-CDF is enshrined within the Constitution and make it mandatory. We will not have to go back and forth in court on issues of the NG-CDF. This will allow us to fully implement all projects, especially the infrastructure projects by the ministries and those by the security teams within our constituencies.
