"content": "Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. You can see the interest in this particular topic. The first thing I would like to request the Leader of Majority Party is to tell this House whether there is intention to bring a policy paper so that as a House we can debate this particular issue. Even as we speak, this money is in some private bank somewhere accruing interest. It is important that we do the right thing when duty calls. I want to plead with my colleagues, the male hon. Members because there are also female hon. Members--- You are arguing about nothing! I want to plead with you; no harm will be done if you leave this fund to the county women 100 per cent. There will be no harm whatsoever! The reason why we created the 47 seats was to create some kind of affirmative action. These people have campaigned in counties. We must as a country make them earn their money. Even if it means working with the youth and children, nothing will be lost if you let the lady county representatives organize these fund, after all you have the CDF. Hon. Deputy Speaker, yesterday I was talking to the Chairman of CDF, there are very many hon. Members here who have inherited CDF accounts because their predecessors never worked."
