    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Mover of this Motion for, first, acceding to our cumbersome and tedious procedures in making laws. The CDF Act is one of the most recent Acts but there was wisdom when it was crafted. What has not been captured by very many people in this country is that, it provides for statutory reporting within a period of two years. The Select Committee has complied with that statutory requirement and made a report. Indeed, as would be expected with anything new, teething problems have been identified. Those who have cared to read through the Report of the Select Committee have seen that the Committee has come up with progressive ways and ideas of improving on the delivery systems within the CDF Act. Therefore, this Motion is merely seeking to comply with our tedious procedures of making laws. We are accused of not enacting enough laws, but Kenyans should see from this; that rather than the Report of the CDF Select Committee being taken over by the Government and being implemented with various suggestions on the improvement to the law, the Committee through the Chairman has gone through this very long process. Therefore, I do not want to belabour that point. This Motion should have passed yesterday and not today. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to second the Motion."
