    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will be very brief. There is no pride in being poor. The CDF has tried as much as possible to address the issue of poverty and it is one of the best economic stimulus package. So, it is us, hon. Members, to ensure that CDF does not disappear under the new Constitution. You can try to visualize a situation whereby you will be going to beg a governor to give you money. So, it is up to us to ensure that the CDF continues under the new Constitution. As a member of this Committee, I looked at the names which were forwarded to us. The 10 names we have brought to the House belong to people we vetted as a Committee and we have all reasons to believe that they will able to work or will be up to the task. During the last Parliament, we had very many differences on issues of allocation, but no Member of Parliament went to court. This time round, we have had two cases where Members of Parliament have gone to court to contest decisions which have been made in this House. I request hon. Members to avoid going to court so that we solve our issues here. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
