    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish that next time, hon. Mirenga, who is my good neighbour will give me a chance to explain to him that in this country, 30 per cent of our national Budget goes to corruption and most times we ignore it. If we are going to spend over Kshs400 billion on corruption, we should not make a lot of noise when we spend less than 1 per cent on our children. As I support this Motion, I believe the best thing to do is to agree that our Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) which gets only 2.5 per cent can be increased to 3 per cent or even 5 per cent and make 50 per cent of the CDF to go to bursaries. That will be a quick way of assisting many kids in the villages. My good friend, hon. Mirenga, I would tell him for free that I understand the challenges that we have in Kisumu as a good neighbour and observer. He deserves quite an amount to go for bursaries. Next time I will bring a Motion to increase the CDF to 3 per cent or 4 per cent and make 50 per cent of it go for bursaries to assist many in the villages who require assistance. This is a quicker way to see that the funds get to so many in the villages. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
