    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to support the work of the Committee. This is a job well done. We know the NG-CDF is doing a lot of good work to the people and it is reaching the poor mwananchi on the ground. I start by congratulating the Chair. You need to continue visiting other regions. This is a special committee. This money is doing a good job but it is not enough. NG-CDF is involved in the construction of classrooms, giving out of bursaries, construction of police posts and many other things, including construction of the Deputy County Commissioners’ offices. We actually used to do disbursement. We would allocate students, say, between Kshs5,000 and Kshs20,000, but still that is not enough. A number of students are crying. For example, in my constituency, I have around 126 public primary schools, 32 public secondary schools and a number of other demands that this NG-CDF money is required to be used for. So, it is prudent for this honourable House to revisit the issue of allocation of money to the NG-CDF so that it can in turn allocate more money to constituencies. It is because this is the only money that reaches the poor. 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."
