    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I wake up to support the Motion on the ground that the National Government Constituencies Development Fund is very important money which comes to the mwananchi. The money allocated to the NG-CDF in the constituencies, especially the money I have been seeing in my constituency is not adequate at all. The money which comes to the constituencies is so low, taking into account what is taking place in the county governments and what is being done by the members of county assemblies and, even the governor. It is good if this money can be doubled. When this money is doubled, it is going to equalise all Kenyans and we will not hear of some places or counties saying they are being marginialised. As we speak, the problem we are facing in this country – what we hear from Kasarani to Jacaranda and many other places when there are meetings, we usually hear some people saying they are being marginalised and developments are not taking place in their constituencies. But, if we are going to have this money doubled in the constituencies, I am very sure, even the places where we see students learning under trees, especially in these arid areas, more so a place called Tiaty because this is what is coming on television now and then, we are going to have classes. I am not saying the current Member for Tiaty is not working but, there was a previous one. We have been seeing students and teachers being taught under trees.
