    "content": "said by many members, that the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG- CDF) is the most impactful fund this country has ever had since its independence. It is important to clarify that the Fund is not in competition at all with devolved funds or county governments. If anything, it supplements the work of the national Government and our county governments in delivering services to the people who elected us. With those few remarks, I support the Bill and also express support for the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF). When we refer to NG-CDF, we incorporate the NGAAF as part of it. As affirmative as it is, this Fund enables meaningful interventions in social programmes that would otherwise not be covered by either the national Government or the county governments. I commend our women leaders, especially the Women Representatives, for the great work they are doing across all our counties. These Women Representatives are doing far more with fewer resources than those who have access to greater allocations at the county level. I commend all of them and beg to support."
