    "content": " Thank you very much. I also stand to support this proposal of entrenching the NG-CDF in the Constitution. In the past, we have encountered many challenges whereby we have been taken to court for operating an unconstitutional fund. So, this proposal will help the fund to exist without any court cases. For the seven years I have been a Member of Parliament for Igembe South Constituency, the Fund has helped me a lot to develop the constituency. Whenever you go in the constituency, the most visible projects were done through NG-CDF. The Fund has enabled many young people from poor backgrounds to go to school. So, it has enabled poor families, whose dreams were dimmed to think that, in future, they can be somebody in life. The Fund has encouraged them to gain education to make them big people in this country. Also, that is the Fund that exposes the constituents to public participation whereby they participate and say what development they would want be done in their various areas. Also, in the security sector, the Fund has improved it eminently. All police stations and chiefs’ camps have been built. Also, the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) has also helped people on the ground. I also support it to be entrenched in the Constitution so that our women can have something to take to the people on the ground. The people of Igembe South Constituency have given me their full support."
