    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for indulging me. The fact that Parliament has today hosted South Sudan and Zambia means that the country is making strides in terms of becoming a benchmarking destination for many African countries. It is good to note that the two visiting Parliaments are led by women Speakers; Hon. Nelly Mutti of Zambia and Hon. Jemma Nunu of South Sudan. Last year, I hosted a Zambian Delegation on your behalf which was quite involving. It was ably led by Hon. Nelly. We had Members from the ruling party, the opposition and even Independents. As they learn about climate change and matters of finance, you must note that Kenya, in a milestone, hosted the Africa Climate Summit (ACS) last year. More importantly, during their visit, the Zambian delegation was interested in learning how we crafted the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) to ensure that we insulate societies from the playground of politics. I hope they will learn the role that this House plays on matters budget and legislation but, more importantly, matters of getting resources to the lowest levels. Zambia and South Sudan will get to know how the NG-CDF has transformed communities and the society."
