    "content": "I have said this over and over again. You all know that if you go to your constituencies, you can count the health facilities, schools, police stations, and administration centres you built. You can also count children in schools. Today, in the House Business Committee, we were saying that I call a Kamukunji to encourage you. You saw yesterday in the media that many Kenyans are being killed more on bodabodas than in vehicle accidents. I have told the House Business Committee to embark on creating a situation where, even if it means additional resources, you go out there, sit and talk to our young people in the bodaboda sub-sector about observing traffic rules. Let us borrow a leaf from what we see in Rwanda—a motorbike carries two people, and both must have helmets. You have seen motorbikes in Kenya carrying not just ordinary people, but even four police officers who are supposed to enforce the law. I have seen four police officers on one bodaboda, with the rider sitting on the petrol tank, looking like he is in a toilet. We have to bring order, and you can use the NG-CDF to educate the public. Hon. Members, instead of saying you leave this Chamber, I thought you would say, ‘’Give us time now to debate what more we can do with the NG-CDF as we wait for it to come.’’ When the Cabinet Secretary comes here tomorrow, neither Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah nor Junet Mohamed will be there to defend him. He will stand here to tell us that, before the close of the financial year, every single shilling of NG-CDF must be in the accounts of each constituency. Also, every single shilling of the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) must be in the accounts of each county. The County Women Representative for Laikipia came to me asking, ''Why are these men not talking about NGAAF? They are only obsessed with NG-CDF.'' I told her, “I will be your defender as a woman MP representing counties.” As we defend the NG-CDF, we shall also defend NGAAF so that we move together. So, let me ask you, Hon. Members, to cool down. Let us get to our business. Tomorrow, come with your sharpest knives, sharpest tongues, and, if you wish, your harshest language to talk to your former colleague, Hon. John Mbadi. Clerk-at-the-Table, you can now call out the Orders. No more on that."
