    "content": "projects for each ward. If you go to my constituency, you can see what the CDF has done in three years. I have built four secondary schools with classrooms, dormitories and toilets through CDF. When we talk about economic empowerment, this is the only Fund that gets into contact with local people. It is small money, women chamas and small contractors who can apply for tenders. Those self-help groups are given tenders and they grow the economy of the area. They improve the living standards of their people. On the issue of separation of powers, the Members’ role is completely down. We have now enhanced the power to the board members who are going to be appointed to oversee the Fund. One of the things that I appreciate in this Bill is the social security programme. In some areas, we do not have the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). Some old women and men in our constituencies have no medical cover. They die in their homes. If we approve this Bill, those poor people can be given NHIF cards to access medical care in every corner of this country. That is another important thing about this Bill. In conclusion, this Bill is for all Kenyans and we need to support it. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
