    "content": "The Mover of the Bill mentioned that these monies are appropriated from the Government’s shareable revenue as envisaged in Article 218 of the Constitution on the annual division and allocation of revenue. Even if that money is not allocated to the NG-CDF, the NGAAF or the Senate Oversight Fund, it will not go to any other place. It will not help any other person. Therefore, we should support this amendment. The Senate Oversight Fund will assist our Senators because it will be a structured fund that will allow them to perform their oversight roles and go to the different counties that they represent to ensure that the county governments’ funds are properly spent. As it has been said, the position of Women Representative is entrenched in the Constitution. It does not make sense for them not to have funds in place to enable them to perform any of their roles outlined in the Constitution. If we do not ensure that the vulnerable and affirmative action groups such as women, persons with disabilities and the youth have allocations that can assist them, nobody will do it.
