    "content": "changed the lives of Kenyans. I support that the fund be retained. The constituencies are some of the lowest units of devolution which are not in competition with the county government. Our people need those funds. These funds have also been well-managed and have shown the great work that can be done by well utilised funds. Even as we reflect on the visit of the Holy Father, Constituencies Development Fund are contributions from all Kenyans and are funds that could be utilised in constructing social amenities like religious centres, sanctuaries, churches and mosques. You and I know that every weekend, we hold Harambees for churches. We need those religious places. The CDF should be enhanced to support the building of churches and mosques so that Kenyans can get proper directions and this country is kept together. The visit of the Pope is very important for all of us. Kenyans need to take care of our money which we collect through taxation. I thank the President for taking action on corruption. Even as we fight corruption, there has been a witch-hunt against women leaders who have been hounded out of offices. This should never happen. I am greatly concerned that Hon. Ngilu and Hon. Waiguru were hounded out of office and yet, women are known to be better managers of finances in this country than any other people."
