    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Indeed, it is a great moment for Kenyans. This sends a very strong signal to enemies of the people of this country, the busybodies who have been going to court to challenge the NG-CDF, which has been very effective at the constituency level. Let me join the chorus of the Hon. Members to confirm that that is the only Fund that has been very effective in this country in terms of devolved development through decentralisation by the national Government. I hope the county governments can emulate that Fund to devolve the funds, which rest at the county government to the ward levels, just like the national Government has been able to devolve funds to the constituency level. As Members of Parliament, let me thank us all for appending signatures in support of the latest legislative proposal, which will become a bill and eventually a law. I am very optimistic that it will ultimately become the National Government Decentralised Fund Act. If the problem was development, then let us use the word decentralised. The effect will still remain the same. I can confirm that, like in my constituency, Gichugu, the NG-CDF has funded numerous development projects, of which my people and I boast of. Numerous schools with tiles, well-renovated, very modern classrooms and even the Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) hubs are built through the NG-CDF committees. The youth of this nation will also find a place to boast out of that Fund, which is called NG-CDF. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
