    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I would particularly like to congratulate Hon. Chepkong’a and the Committee that sat down and came up with the specifics of making sure that we entrench NG- CDF, National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) and Senate Oversight Fund into the Constitution. From the mood of the House, it is clear that the majority of the Members understand the concept of NG-CDF. There are many projects that we have undertaken in our constituencies, including making sure that we have built modern police posts to boost the security sector that has been neglected for a very long time. In the education sector, we have made sure to modernise our public primary and secondary day schools. We also oversee and make sure that students in various constituencies benefit from the bursary. We also make sure that we prudently oversee the use of the money that has been allocated to us through the NG-CDF. This is the only unit of devolution that really works. Sometimes, we give governors a lot of resources, but we cannot identify projects that are done by that money within our constituencies. But within the same constituency, we can see different projects that have been done by NG-CDF. I was against the Senate Oversight Fund, but it is a high time we also supported the Senate so that they can also make sure that devolution works. That Fund will also help them ensure that there is prudent use of Government resources through devolution. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support."
