    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to second this Motion. The NGCDF has been a milestone and a good programme in this country. The NGCDF has been a life changer in rural Kenya. It has assisted in building of schools, hospitals, provision of water and bursaries for students. You cannot underrate the NGCDF in this country. It is very unfortunate that Kenyans have become busybodies by taking this matter to court. The late Sharif Nassir one time told me that we will have more court cases in this country than any other country in Africa. Today, we have one of the most progressive constitutions in this country. Anybody with any frivolous issue takes you to court for nothing. That is why it is important that our cause becomes very firm, our Parliament becomes very firm and we bring development to our people. Life in rural Kenya is very difficult. I remember I was in the former Parliament where we never used to have NGCDF. We used to do many Harambees and many other things whose impact at the end of the day was very minimal. Time has come for the public and Kenyans to be told. I am sure the mood of the public is with us. We need to support the NGCDF in and out of Parliament. The county governments must also come together and support NGCDF. I beg to second. Thank you."
