    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. I support the recommendations made by the Committee which is headed by Hon. Kathuri. Kenyans at large have seen the input of the NG-CDF. For instance, the constituency I come from, we are referred to as marginalised communities. Since the introduction of the NG-CDF and more so devolution, that narrative is no longer there because we have seen the role the NG-CDF is playing within our constituencies. My constituency could be the largest in the country. It measures 65,000 square kilometres and the NG-CDF is the only resource that is seen to be doing something on the ground. You will agree with me that currently, we have only disbursed around Kshs80 million to Kshs100 million. That money is not enough. It is better if this House or the NG-CDF Committee sat down and increased this figure because this is the only money that touches the lives of the common mwananchi . With those few remarks, due to interest of time, I thank you and I support."
