    "content": "I was just tempted to talk about the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) because somebody mentioned it this morning. I was sitting back, imagining how a whole former Speaker and Cabinet Secretary (CS) can talk about Members of Parliament embedding funds in the Constitution yet there is nowhere in that docket where a Member of Parliament signs. We do not play any role. We only do oversight. That is why I got carried away and tempted. It was a burning issue. Anyway, I support the nominee. The Member of Parliament from that region has said he is the very first from that village to serve in that government position. It is also good progress for this broad-based Government. It is now going deeper in looking at marginalised regions and picking up Kenyans from those regions to serve in government. The credentials show somebody who is well-schooled, tested and proven. Indeed, I can attest to the fact that education equalises. Through education, we are sitting here in the 13th Parliament today and praising the nominees who decided to go to school. Somewhere on the way, the President picked them up to come and serve Kenya in different capacities. I wish them well. I look forward to good working relationships in their different dockets. If we, Members of Parliament, work together with the Executive, we will take Kenya to the next level. I rest my case, and I congratulate them. I wish them the very best in their new assignments."
