    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I support the Bill as a proud Kenyan. I have been elected twice as a Women Representative. I have seen the proposed amendment to Article 204(c) of the Constitution on inclusion. The affirmative action kitty is very important. As we amend the Constitution to entrench NGAAF, I request this House to ensure allocation of adequate funds. I know you are a champion of women issues and you support women agenda. NGAAF is allocated only Ksh7 million per constituency per year. Women groups and PWDs benefit from this Fund. There are also other kitties. I would propose that we merge Uwezo Fund, Women Fund and Youth Fund and the money put into one kitty for woman representatives, who represent all constituencies in a county. They will manage it better. Groups with information apply for NGAAF, Uwezo Fund and, if they are youth, the Youth Fund. As a result, only a few benefit while others may not even be aware of how to apply. If we enhance NGAAF, we will see a lot of changes in villages. This is the real bottom-up approach.
