    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I think I am having mixed feelings considering that I spoke in this House many months ago and, coincidentally, you were on the Chair. Therefore, I am quite happy about it. Recently and from yesterday, we have had major issues happening in our county and, therefore, we are worried that Government funds seem to be used in ways they are not supposed to. I have been in support of the Uwezo Fund and I think it is long overdue. As we make these final comments on the Uwezo Fund, we should remember that these were promises that were made early in 2013. Basically, all of us need to support the Fund because just like the laptops project, we need to ensure that the projects and proposals given by the Government are supported up to the end. Finally, when I look at the amendments and the changes that have been brought by the Senate, they are not major. Somehow, I came to feel that some of them might just be a way of flexing muscles. That is because we had issues last year. When we passed things in the House and were sent to the Senate, the Senators felt that they needed to make changes on them. I, however, support and I am happy with the attitude of the Members of this House today because we have decided that we are going to support the changes irrespective of whether they are good for us or not. The Senate, as we speak, needs to understand that we have agreed to work together. As we move on, the support for the two Houses has to be taken into consideration. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker."
