    "content": "I know there were children from Kanyanjara Primary School, where I was elected a Member of Parliament in 2013, who had mud walls and timber classrooms in their schools that had no floors. Children in Kikuyu today pride themselves on being in better public schools than private academies because of investments made by NG-CDF. It is not because of their Member of Parliament but because of NG-CDF. The Act gave very clear guidelines on how procurement is done, how projects are implemented using an independent NG-CDF committee elected at the local level with representation and having project implementation committees at the local level. How I wish Kenyans would see the work of devolution in the last 10 years of implementation as they see the work of NG-CDF at their localities. How I wish that the County Governments Act was as elaborate as the NG-CDF Act. Therefore, I want to encourage Dr Boniface Makokha to serve Kenyans with diligence, look at the workings of NG-CDF, see how we can further improve it, and propose amendments for us to be able to legislate so that it continues to serve the people of Kenya as it has served them over the last past 20 years. With those many remarks, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to support and wish Mr Cyrell Wagunda Odede and Dr Boniface Makokha all the best in their service to the nation. They should go forth to serve the people of Kenya."
