    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First of all, I would like to associate myself with the sentiments of the Members who have spoken ahead of me in support of entrenching NG-CDF, NGAAF, and the Senate Oversight Fund into the Constitution of Kenya. I also sympathise with the Member for Molo Constituency, and pass my condolences to those who lost their loved ones in the civil unrest. We can do better as a country. Back to the issue at hand, the NG-CDF Act, 2015 has been one of the most successful legislations that has come out of this august House. It has equalised communities across this country, specifically people from Northern Kenya and the constituency which I represent, Samburu North. Those are constituencies and areas which were legally marginalised by Sessional Paper No. 10, which said that the less productive areas of this country should not get an equal share of the national cake. The NG-CDF Act, 2015, brought services to our people, and as Hon. Moroto has previously mentioned, those are services one had to travel to places we used to refer as “Kenya” to access basic education, health, and other essential Government services. In my constituency, there are places people cannot access education. Since I got elected - and this is my first term - I have registered 26 new schools in the constituency. I had to build the schools from scratch. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
