    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Motion and congratulate the gentleman who has been appointed. I want to congratulate the Committee for proposing a very young man to the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Board. He was born in 1975. I also want to congratulate the Board because the CDF has continued to grow. I want to join my colleagues in saying that the CDF should continue and must continue. I believe that the only practical solution that this House has given to the country is the CDF. There are a few people who say that the county government should take over the CDF. We want to say; “no”. The CDF must remain as a unit. This is a fund that supports very important projects within our country. Where I come from and where many of this Members come from, there is no single school which has been started by the central Government in the last 20 years. All the schools that have been started of late in the last ten or twenty years are CDF projects right from procurement of land to construction. Therefore, the CDF should be made a constitutional fund so that it is protected because this is a fund that reaches everywhere in this country. There is no constituency that the CDF does not reach. Therefore, I recommend that it should be a constitutional fund so that it is protected and it reaches everywhere in the country."
