    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion on the gazettement of the National Government Development Fund committee members, especially the recommendation by the Hon. Chairperson about the exemption of the submission for approval of the names of the nominees to the Head of Public Service. Nyeri Town Constituency presented the nominee's name for women way back at the beginning of 2023, in February or March. To date, that nominee has never been gazetted despite being approved by this House. In the course of the internal audit, Nyeri Town Constituency was flagged as having an issue because the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) Committee was not fully constituted in the absence of the gazettement of that member who represents women. The women constituents in Nyeri Town are very unhappy with me as their Member of Parliament, apparently, because their representative has never been gazetted. We seem to have a loophole that has been exploited, and that is not provided for in law through a circular. The members of the NG-CDF committee are largely volunteers. Those are people who are willing to devote their time, resources, energy and intellect to assist community development. If the local stakeholders have found a person who is fit to serve in that capacity The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
