    "content": "Another issue is on security. We are doing a lot in building offices for our chiefs and Administration Police camps and even helping our police force. On the same, I would urge for a lot of collaboration between the Office of the President, NG-CDF Board and Members of Parliament. Ultimately, no one has done more public participation than us. We are always with the people. We know what their needs are. Therefore, we can do much more in collaborating with them. Matters of security and electricity are on our side. We continue to do the same with NG- CDF. I urge the other Government departments to work closely with us just the same way we work so closely with Rural Electrification Authority (REA) to a level where we have a matching kind of programme. For example, Kiharu Constituency can give Kshs4 million and REA Kshs4 million, and then we propose to the villagers where we should install transformers, or to build electricity power lines. I believe the same can also work with Kenya Power because, currently, it is not there. Kenya Power, through their investment fund, can work with NG-CDF. They can top up on what we give because the needs we are trying to solve are the same. One of the predicaments that we continue to face in so far as NG-CDF is concerned is systems. That is the truth of the matter. A lot of NG-CDF work is currently done manually. I challenge the NG-CDF Board and the CEO who has done an exemplary job to consider having an IT system that is the same across all constituencies. That way, for example, when we are giving bursaries, even the internal auditors right here at the board can tell how many people we have given bursaries, say, in Kiharu. Again, any other person who is interested to know can key The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
