    "content": "It would have been a worse scenario if the President, since he is human, gave up too. I want to appeal to them not to drive this country into anarchy because those countries which went that direction have not recovered. I call upon the Generation Z to give the President and the Government ample time. For sure, in a few months, they will see a lot of difference. I support the Report of the Committee. Nobody, should think of scrapping the NG-CDF because this country relies on it for development. Over the weekend, I went to some schools in my constituency for prayer day. They are built on one acre of land and yet, they have so many students and are appealing for more land. The Ministry of Education does not fund buying of land. Therefore, only the NG-CDF can fund those schools. NG-CDF projects are properly managed and supervised from implementation to completion. That is why we get good results. I do not see why anybody would want to scrap it. I appeal to all Members to desist from having this discussion. It is crystal clear that Members of Parliament only play an oversight role. Some people think that MPs run the NG-CDF. I want to be extremely clear that we do not get even a shilling. We do not handle bursaries or development funds because we are not signatories. Our work is to oversight and ensure funds are used for the intended purposes. Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the time. Let us all unite and ensure that the NG-CDF is entrenched in the Constitution."
