    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I wish to thank Members who contributed to the debate on Decentralized Funds Accounts Committee Report on audited accounts for five constituencies in Vihiga County for three financial years: 2013/2014 to 2015/2016. The constituencies examined included Vihiga, Sabatia, Hamisi, Emuhaya and Luanda. Hon. Speaker, I wish to take this opportunity to thank the constituency committees, the fund account managers and the project management committees for utilising the money given to them well on behalf of the people of the five constituencies. I also wish to thank the Hon. Members for those constituencies for patronising the funds well. It has come out clearly from the debate that the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) is the only development fund that is visible in all the remote villages in Kenya. It benefits the most vulnerable school-going children in the villages. It is indeed an economic stimulus fund that benefits and debunks the common mwananchi in the remotest corners of the villages in Kenya. It has come out clearly from the debate that, unlike the notion with those naysayers against NG-CDF, that Members of Parliament have no role in the monies and accountability. Projects are identified by the communities, processed by the constituency committees and the fund account managers and then implemented by the project management committees.
