    "content": "I plead with Members of this House that we must really re-look at the funding of NG- CDF. As we speak, this is February. We are just a few months to the end of a financial year and yet, up to date, 85 per cent of the NG-CDF allocation to constituencies has not been released. This leaves a lot to be desired. As we read about corruption scandals left, right and centre in this country, billions of shillings being syphoned through corruption by doing dams that are neither in Heaven nor Earth, Kshs100 million meant to build schools for Kenyan children, meant to pay bursary for children who are completely unable to meet their school fees needs…. As we speak, the National Treasury is playing games by releasing Kshs10 million and a similar amount another time. You just wonder what it takes to release money for NG-CDF. As we speak about the 100 per cent transition, I thank our President and the Government for acknowledging that every child in Kenya has a right to free basic primary and secondary education. But, just saying 100 per cent transition in places where the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) does not provide teachers and there is no infrastructure in place... You cannot just take children to some ramshackle in the name of secondary schools and boast or thump-chest that you are doing 100 per cent transition. We need to see more done."
