    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I must start by thanking my friend, Hon. Lessonet, the Chairman of the Committee, for having done a good job with his team. Initially, when this matter came to the Budget and Appropriations Committee, we thought that they had not done a good job. It appears they went back and reviewed the whole thing and now they have brought in some relevance concerning the complaint that the people had and which made them to take us to court. I will not talk much about the good things that the CDF is doing. That is very obvious and almost all Hon. Members have talked about it here. I will restrict myself to the effort the Committee has made to align the CDF Act to the Constitution. That was the bone of contention. The new Bills set the National Government Constituencies Development Fund which now creates the CDF as an organ of the national Government. In this respect, the new national organ will operate in conformity with various articles of the Constitution as stipulated in Part 1, Sections 3(c) to 3(j) of this Bill. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
