    "content": "The NG-CDF is the only fund which is felt in the grassroots in this country. It is known by every child in every school, every makanga in any stage and any church member in the community because there are so many activities which it runs on the ground. We cannot rule it out. It has eclipsed many other Funds which are run by Government. People do not do their other functions which can bring development to the people. That is why I support fully and strongly that we amend the law, so that we can increase this percentage of our NG-CDF to 3 per cent or 3.5 per cent of the Budget. This Fund was reduced when it was argued that it is based on the gross Budget figure before you deduct money for the devolved functions. If this Fund can be 2.5 per cent of the gross of the Budget, that will be in order. There was a challenge in court and we have already lost over Kshs10 billion from this kitty. We need to amend it to a higher percentage. This House is up to the task. My brother, Hon. Wanyonyi, has said that he will come up with amendments which I would support."
