    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Motion. I would like to say that the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money that we are getting at the moment is too little. Mr. Minister, you were a Member of Parliament in the last Parliament and you are one of the people who were complaining that the CDF allocation was too low. Today, I am still complaining about this allocation, but I do not know whether you are comfortable now that you are in charge of that Ministry. Please, do something about the amount which is too little. The CDF is the main development fund that we are getting in this country. Please, do something about it, so that Kenyans are happier than they are. Kenyans are happy with the money, but it is too little. In regard to the poverty indices, it beats logic when our professionals sit in their offices and fake data. They make data in the direction that certain politicians want and then they get protection from those politicians. Let us say the truth! Let us take the example of Rarieda Constituency. It is one of those constituencies which were rated as poor before and Kikuyu Constituency which was rated as rich. Now, somewhere along the line, about five years, you find Rarieda Constituency going up and then some of those constituencies which were rated rich and wealthy suddenly become poor. If it is the question of projection, what really happened to those constituencies which were rich and wealthy? It beats logic! Then you find politicians shouting in support of those professionals who have faked data. Kenya is a country where people fake data. Likewise, last year's Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results were faked, then you find some politicians coming out to support the professionals who have faked data."
