    "content": "So, we must relook at the formula. If it means bringing amendments, we should do so. If the Committee does not do so, individual Members can do it. One of us has already indicated that he will do it. My brother, Hon. Wanyonyi, also said he will bring amendments. I was also going to do it. If we cannot do that, we should start considering repealing the Act, so that someone else takes responsibility. That responsibility will either be taken up by the national Government, through the Ministry of Education, or the funds will go to county governments because they are devolved funds. The NG-CDF is part of devolution. If we cannot correct the NG-CDF sharing formula and make it equitable so that all the areas can benefit equitably, we should consider the measure of repealing the NG-CDF Act. I am saying this with a heavy heart. I have had a lot of difficulties in my constituency. It seems like the Committee enjoys frustrating Members because even the Chair and the Vice-Chair do not sit in the House to follow the proceedings on their own Report on matters related to development in the constituencies. Therefore, I appeal to my colleagues that we look at it with sober minds. It is something that affects many of us. I am not the only one who is affected. Many constituencies are affected by this inequitable distribution of funds."
