    "content": "The fact that this is recognised in our Constitution, we know as a nation we are all not equal and equitable in terms of development. The NG-CDF Act has failed to honour and recognise this reality in our Constitution. Having said that, I want to appreciate that we have done so much good work with NG-CDF. As a ranking Member of this House, who has been blessed enough to serve the third term, we built schools and hospitals before health was devolved. We put water structures all over our constituencies. For most constituencies in the marginalised areas, they will never be the same because of NG-CDF. The good work that NG-CDF has done in the entire country cannot be unnoticed by anybody. Having said that, I think it is very important that the issues we have raised especially in terms of the parameters we use to allocate NG-CDF resources are revisited. I still remember in the 11th Parliament when Hon. Lessonet, the then NG-CDF Committee Chair, passed a very unfavourable and biased amendment in this House. This was late in the evening at around 6.00 p.m. when very few Members were here. I was among the few around and I shouted the much I could, but not even Hon. Duale, Member Garissa Township, helped me. Yet, we are pastoralists coming from the same region. Maybe I had forgotten that it is because he is the MP of an urban constituency in northern Kenya."
