    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Report by the NG-CDF Committee. First, I want to congratulate this Committee for doing a good job and producing a very voluminous Report with good content. This Committee has beaten all others hands down including PIC from which I was removed. I was removed as if I am the one who prepares reports. I want to challenge them to bring a report. I will be the first one to shoot it down. I was taken to a very good committee which oversees all legislation from all Government departments. So, I will be a very good legislator. This has done me very good. I will no longer be an investigator; I will be a legislator. As all our colleagues have said, the NG-CDF is the only fund in Kenya which has impact in the villages and grassroots. We pass huge budgets here in Parliament but they are never felt at the grassroots. This is a fund we must protect until Jesus comes back. I agree with the Report of this Committee and its recommendations. You cannot have somebody acting forever for seven years. You should naturally be confirmed if you act for three months. You are on the job. I agree with them that the CEO should be confirmed. A board should be put in place so that things can be rolling. I also want to agree with the Committee that the allocation for the NG-CDF should be increased so that it can be felt more in the constituencies and the grassroots levels. But, I also want to suggest that allocation of that money per constituency should be based on the poverty The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
