    "content": "As I conclude, whatever happens, the NG-CDF remains the only engine of development that can be noticed wherever we go. I want to urge my colleagues that the NG-CDF belongs to the people of the constituency and not them. So, Members of Parliament should avoid personalising the NG-CDF projects. You do not have to fix your photo on a school bus you bought or on posters and signposts as required by the Board. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we must, as a people, guard the NG-CDF because the recipients of the NG-CDF have no problem with it. It is only the lazy bodies and the busy bodies all over the country who think that the NG-CDF is a licence for a Member of Parliament to be re-elected. The NG-CDF is a poisoned chalice that can either send a Member of Parliament home or can retain a Member of Parliament. It is not an automatic passage to the next point. I urge my colleagues that wherever we are, let us talk about the NG-CDF because that is what can be seen all over. All those other projects cannot be seen. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the other day, I saw in a report somewhere that there is a certain constituency where the school infrastructure is dilapidated and the only thing you can see are those ones that are done by the NG-CDF. The county government has never built an ECDE block or anything. So, we must not bastardise but always strengthen the NG-CDF.
