    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to second this Motion on the appointment of the NG-CDFC members of the Kitutu Chache South Constituency, having elected their Member of Parliament after the other constituencies had done so. This will also enable them to operationalise their activities as soon as possible. The people of Kitutu Chache South need to be able to present their proposals for approval. They also need to be able to utilise their funds. They need development. The NG-CDFC performs important functions. Just as the Leader of the Majority Party put it, the Kshs15 million per constituency that was omitted in the Supplementary Budget is key to us in terms of doing some projects in our constituencies. That is money that we had initially budgeted for before the NG-CDF Board even came up with some areas in the constituencies, where they wanted every constituency to establish four Information and Communication Technology centres. They also want us to come up with a master plan, which had not been factored. So, this Kshs15 million per constituency is very important. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it would also be very important for the NG-CDF Committee to be very keen to ensure that all projects that we intend to do are national functions especially putting up of houses for regular police, Administration Police, chiefs, County Officers and in other areas. We are hoping that in this financial year there will be an increment because Kshs101 million per constituency is not adequate. We think our people need more projects and this NG-CDF has been very key and fundamental in terms of devolution. Devolution was actually borrowed from what NG-CDF has been able to achieve in all the corners of this country. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I second the Motion and thank you."
