    "content": "909 important institution to the people of this country. As we are being bashed left and right, it is high time that we were complimented for having brought into being this particular institution of the CDF. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as hon. Members, our interest is to develop our constituencies. Once our constituencies are developed there will be no need for a change of guard. We promise Kenyans that we are going to develop this country without any fear or favour. I must thank the Government for its guidance on this issue. Procurement for CDF projects has also been made simple for mwanachi on the ground to benefit. The Fund is supplementing Government development efforts in rural areas. We must tell the Executive arm of the Government not to depend on the CDF money. We should make it accountable as the rest of public money. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, all constituencies should ensure that the other part of Government money is utilised properly. We want to see the Ministry of Water and Irrigation undertaking its projects properly. We should not sink boreholes using CDF money. We want to see proper management of the CDF Fund. We are very happy that this Fund has gone to the extent of assisting the education system in this country. CDF bursaries are awarded to poor students. We are happy that the Government is also providing some money to promote education. The CDF supplements these efforts. In a nutshell, I want to support this Motion, and say that we should do what we can, as hon. Members, to support the CDF to grow and be beneficial to the people of this country. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
