    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. I support the appointment of Mr. Lukaale as a Board member of the CDF. I am sure he is going to bring a wealth of experience in this very important Board. I want to echo the sentiments of my colleagues that the CDF must continue in the new dispensation because it has really transformed this country in terms of development. The Minister for Finance has confirmed to me that he is going to push legislation which will ensure that the CDF will continue in the new dispensation. CDF has really transformed the development of our nation. There are certain regions where, were it not for the CDF, they would not have seen any light of development. Therefore, the continuity of the CDF is paramount and significant. Therefore, I would like to support that the current members of the Board should look at the poverty index of the nation as a whole so that the Government funds are disbursed, not just on the basis of population but also the rate of under-development. The main reason why the CDF is there is to ensure that the country development level is brought to equality. With those very many remarks, I support the appointment."
