    "content": "women of this country, who still walk very many kilometres to deliver children despite the devolved healthcare system? There are historical injustices. But apart from what was envisaged in the Constitution of Kenya 2010, development has been skewed to political loyalty to some extent. So, areas that have been considered opposition areas have not been equally developed. These are also injustices. As much as we are busy saying that we should stick to what was envisaged, I also intend to bring amendments to the effect that we need to have this particular board identify priority areas. You rightfully said that it was initially intended for 14 counties and then later, it was extended, but there are parts of Rangwe Constituency that do not have electricity to date. There are many parts of Rangwe Constituency where the road networks are not as the residents and the electorate would want. We still need to improve healthcare in my constituency. There are some schools that still require money from the Ministry of Education, other than the NG- CDF. If you allow me, this is what I am trying to say that we need to rethink our value systems as spelt out in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. We need to rethink our religiosity. We have Christians, Muslims, Hindus, traditionalists and other religions in this country. People decide when to worship and it all ends there. Once done, they put on their evil clothes and come to perpetrate injustices to their own kin, the Kenyan citizenry. This particular Fund was supposed to have been dispensed over a period of time. Can we have a review? What has it done so far? How much money goes into its management? A lot of money is wasted on managing some of these funds, and that is why I like the NG-CDF. It is restrictive to administration and education. When we have an amorphous fund, it becomes difficult to implement. In conclusion, I want to state that it is a good Fund. I support it. I support the proposals by the Committee. When we get to the Committee of the whole House, I will propose my own amendments. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity."
