    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Presidential Address. First of all, let me congratulate the President for being a paragon of good political and economic management in this region. His performance has been recognised both in Africa and internationally. The economic performance of this country has been very good. So many people have benefited from the economic developments of this country. We have seen the benefits being distributed to all corners of the country through free primary education and the CDF Fund. I am surprised when I hear some of my colleagues say that the common man at the ground has not felt the impact of the economic achievements of this country. Those hon. Members have only themselves to blame. Once there is CDF allocation to every constituency in the country, that money is meant to be delivered to the common man. If an hon. Member says that he or she has not delivered that money to his or her constituents, that hon. Member is voting himself or herself out. He should not blame the Government or the Presidency for this because he has been given the responsibility of managing that Fund. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the improvements seen in infrastructure and health care facilities in the country you can see that this Government has really performed in spite of a lot of noise being made by some hon. Members of this House."
