    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion on the entrenchment into the Constitution of counties and constituencies funds. I want to speak for NGAAF. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I must say the proponents of the Constitution were misguided. The funds that County Woman Representatives get in NGAAF are very little. Even as we entrench it in the Constitution, we really want it to be considered and added adequately. I cannot be in charge of six constituencies and have Ksh6 million per constituency, while my counterpart probably has Ksh150 million. In all fairness, how am I supposed to take care of women, youth and people with disabilities? Who is a youth? Everyone in this country looks like a youth. It is not possible for me to work in a whole county and use barely an eighth of the money that I am given. Even as we entrench NGAAF in the Constitution, that money should be really considered fairly and added. The work of a County Woman Representative is to deal with emotions, but not with infrastructure. Dealing with emotions is almost impossible. That money cannot make me die, survive or live properly. So, I just survive there. Lastly, I wish all of you merry Christmas as we go for recess."
