    "content": "The people of Funyula, being severely impoverished, generally depend on external support to educate their children and they feel they are in a state of panic. Schools are opening on 2nd January and they do not know how their children will go to school. This is a matter of national importance. If indeed nothing happens by this Friday, I suppose by next week we need to probably have a Motion or beg leave of the House to debate this matter because we cannot afford to go on and proceed without the bursary fund. In addition, quite a lot of roads in our constituencies have been severally damaged by the short rains and as you have been told, the Roads Board cannot also operate because the road funds cannot be expended without the gazetted members. We sincerely urge and request the Government to move with speed to get us this money. We are of course apprehensive that once the county governments get their money and start working pressure is going to mount on the MPs and we will be seen to be doing nothing yet the MCAs and county governments are working hard enough. Therefore, I support the names. Finally, on behalf of the people of Funyula, I send my sincere condolences to the family of Hon. Nyenze. I am a new Member in Parliament and I never served under his leadership, but following from outside I saw the amount of work he did to enable the CORD Coalition then to play its role in Parliament. I wish the family God’s grace at this moment of hardship and I pray for them. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
