    "content": "Since Independence, there have been numerous attempts to enhance and improve the livelihood of the people of Kenya at the local level. They include the formation of the special rural development programmes, district development planning and district focus for rural development by former President Moi’s Government. However, most of these programmes failed to bring development in rural areas until the introduction of the NG-CDF. It brought total change and transformation of the country with regard to development of infrastructure and social amenities. It has brought a new face to our constituents in comparison to the previous practice where Members of Parliament relied on the patronage and goodwill from the Government of the day to deliver to constituencies. The Members of Parliament would queue before Ministers and Permanent Secretaries for a school whose roof had been blown off to be repaired. We can use the NG-CDF to uplift the lives of our people today."
