    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to add my voice to the many speakers who have supported this Bill. We understand the role of the CDF to our communities. We know what it has done from the Ninth Parliament to date. All Members of Parliament and Kenyans, at large, believe that it has brought very big change in development especially in areas which were not considered by the previous Governments. I happen to be one of the members and the Vice-Chair of this Committee. I think we need to move quite a number of amendments especially with regard to how we will identify the members of the CDF committees at the constituency level. As one hon. Member cited here, we need to identify democratic process in which we shall come up with members who are accepted by members of that community. All in all, this is a Fund that must continue. Whereas we will talk about aligning it to the Constitution, we must make sure that the role of the Member of Parliament, as patron, is retained in this CDF era."
