    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving this opportunity to support and thank our Chair because I belong to the Special Funds Accounts Committee. We went through a lot of discussion around this Report. I want to congratulate the Chair, the Member for South Imenti. This is a true reflection of the findings we had in the Committee. I am a product of NG-CDF. The bursary component of NG-CDF enabled me to go through my education as a young girl growing up in Kuria. I can, therefore, vouch for the continuity of NG-CDF. That was the time when Hon. Wilfred Machage was my Member of Parliament. I was still in high school. So, I know what value NG-CDF has to the very many children of this country. Therefore, there is value in NG-CDF. I want to thank the brains that came together in 2003 at the inception of this fund. I know that so many communities have benefitted. The bursary component of NG-CDF is what I would vouch for. Fees are a major challenge to parents and children in accessing education. As I sat in that committee when we were looking at the audited reports, I was asking myself how we can increase the bursary allocation of NG-CDF so that parents are cushioned for more children to access education.
