    "content": "Hon. Members, as you are aware, the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) was established in 2003 under the NG-CDF Act 2015 with an objective of supplementing infrastructure development at the constituency level in matters falling within the exclusive functions of the National Assembly. Actually, 2015 is when the amendment of the original Act was done. The Fund commenced operations in April 2004. Over the years, the Fund has been instrumental in enabling grassroots development, including the construction of school infrastructure as well as providing bursaries to needy students. Hon. Members, in recognition of the enormous achievements of the Fund as demonstrated by substantial transformation across the country, the Board has organised a series of events highlighting the tremendous impact of the NG-CDF. The events will culminate in a national celebration to be observed on Friday, 3rd May 2024 at Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi. The ceremony will be presided over by His Excellency Hon. Dr William Samoei Ruto, CGH, the President and Commander--In-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces. In view of the role of Parliament and Members of Parliament, specifically in the conceptualisation, marshalling of legislation and oversight of the Fund, the NGCDF Board has extended an invitation to all Hon. Members to the celebration on Friday, 3rd May 2024 at 9.00 a.m. All Guests are expected to be seated by 8.30 a.m. All Hon. Members are welcome to the celebrations. Thank you."
