    "content": "The same can be said about parts of Gembe that have been included as marginalised. Some areas in Gembe without schools or roads have been perennially cut off. Recently, during heavy rains, a place in my constituency called Sikri was completely cut off. People had to use boats, and schools closed until the rains stopped. If we keep waiting for the generally marginalised counties, when will we ever get to such areas? Are we creating new areas of marginalisation? We must carry everybody on board. I know that some areas are experts in pushing their agenda and screaming marginalisation. That is okay because they are marginalised. We do not scream marginalisation; we tend to scream democracy. However, we will now be screaming both. I apologise for using the word 'Luo Nyanza,\" but there are areas in Luo Nyanza that have been marginalised over the years because of our political leanings. The opposition areas never get money. I am happy that we get NG-CDF. Before I became a Member of Parliament, I was amazed to see a well-built school in our constituency funded by the NG-CDF. I was proud to discover that my grandfather had donated the land for that school. Without the NG-CDF, many schools in our areas would still be in poor condition due to opposition politics. It is important to note that even in the United States, some people are in government and others in the opposition, which is the essence of democracy.
