    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and Chair of NGCDF Committee for allowing me to second this amendment. Allow me to state two observations on that. In 2003 when NGCDF was introduced into this country, that was the first time some regions of this country saw equity in development. If you go round this country you will see the work of NGCDF. The lives of Kenyans have been changed by projects that have been undertaken through the funding of NGCDF. These projects done by NGCDF have positive impact. Students have gone to school and roads that would not have been constructed were constructed by these funds. You can appreciate that there is development across the country. So, we should retain what was given under NGCDF last year in this financial year. I do not know why the CS for the National Treasury felt that we do not need the Kshs1 billion this year. It is prudent that we retain the allocation of the NGCDF in the current 2015/2016 Financial Year which was Kshs35.2 billion. I sit in the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and I saw that the figure had been reduced to Kshs34 billion. This is the right thing to do. I beg to second."
