    "content": " I stand guided, Hon. Speaker. The NG-CDF touches the common mwananchi. Therefore, I do not support the reduction on the NG- CDF. I do not support the reduction of the Affirmative Action Fund. I do not also support the reduction of the Parliamentary budget because that is where I belong. We would rather reduce spending on Government departments and not Parliament. We have seen a lot of mismanagement of Government resources. For example, in the last formation of the Government, there was creation of the position of Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS), which increased spending in the Government. We also saw recently the President announcing that the police will be given new uniforms. We have not seen that reduction. Instead of giving the police new uniforms, they should stay with their old ones so that we can put that money in the development budget. Hon. Speaker, I rise to oppose the recommendations by the Budget and Appropriations Committee."
