"content": " Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Before I contribute, I thank the Committee for the good job they have done. Hon. Mbithi, who is a friend, represents the Chairperson. I know they had many considerations regarding the NG-CDF when they were doing the Report. Those fighting the NG-CDF are enemies of the people. The work and the projects the NG-CDF is doing on the ground in our constituencies are the only visible ones. When I joined Parliament in 2017, my constituents gave me guidelines to do what is right and ensure that the NG-CDF money is safe. That is what made me come back to Parliament. I have given full scholarship to 280 students in my constituency, courtesy of the NG-CDF. I want to be clear that Members of Parliament are not signatories to the NG-CDF accounts. They are just overseers. They are only the patrons of the Fund. The good work that the NG-CDF is doing in our constituencies is the only visible one. Regarding bursaries, many people and even the Gen-Zs have gone to school using the NG-CDF bursaries. This financial year alone, 20,000 beneficiaries in my constituency have benefited from the NG-CDF. The NG-CDF is doing a tremendous job in our constituencies and Kenya as a whole. I was thinking when the Gen-Zs held maandamano the other day. It is high time the President of this country sat down, watched and thought of how to distribute resources in this country."
