    "content": "It is also important for our Members to appreciate that that which cannot be measured cannot be rewarded. We have been having for the longest time, the acting CEO of the NG-CDF Board. He has been acting for almost seven years and we all know that he is a human being. This is a human being who has feelings. He is acting together with the Chairman, Mr. Masese, a very efficient manager. He was the director of education and he did a good job. This Chairman and the NG-CDF CEO are on acting capacity. We need to pass a policy. We need to encourage the Cabinet Secretary so that he can get them confirmed. When somebody is confirmed he has more latitude to do a lot more than when acting. When you are acting, the human propensity in us is such that you want to look over your shoulder before you make a hard decision. We know that managers are meant to make hard decisions, not very popular decisions. But now because he does not know his future, he does not know what tomorrow holds for him, he acts in a manner that is not forceful enough. Probably that explains why we have not been able to receive the money from the National Treasury. He does not have the teeth to bite. He cannot put his feet down to push the Cabinet Secretary or the Principal Secretary to get the money because he has not been confirmed. I do not know if it is a strategy to keep him acting for all this long, but for purposes of good governance, efficiency and better coordination, the Chairman, Mr. Masese who is on acting capacity, needs to be confirmed. It is only fair that we also get Mr. Mbuno confirmed as a CEO so that they are able to think more efficiently and be able to serve Kenyans in a better way. That way they would be settled and they would be happy that they have been recognised for serving Kenyans. I appreciate the contribution from Members. They appreciate the contribution of the NG- CDF to our people. We need to work hard and ensure that a few cases we have of corruption, if any, in our constituencies are dealt with decisively for the good of the society. That way, we would be able to grow our economy and touch the lives of our people who are vulnerable, people who cannot afford to pay for their basic needs, which the NG-CDF is meant to do. We promise to work hard and ensure that service is given to our people. I can see my time up… With those many words I support. Thank you."
