    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to highlight some of the successes of the NG-CDF. Thank you, Committee, for a good job done in the Report. As many Members have outlined, the NG-CDF has transformed this country. Since the NG-CDF came into being, many schools have changed from mud-walled structures to stone-walled classrooms. The learning environment has improved in primary and secondary schools. Therefore, the NG-CDF “vehicle” which was initiated brought great transformation to this nation. The way it has functioned has been successful because the money has gone all the way to the grassroots. I can imagine my constituency, which is over 500 square kilometers, with over 116 primary schools and over 28 secondary schools. Right now, we are trying to eliminate any school which still has iron sheet walling. This is because the NG-CDF has enabled us to assist those particular schools. When the NG-CDF was initiated, it was given 2.5 per cent of the national Budget. This particular percentage needs to be increased to 5 per cent because the NG-CDF has done tremendous work. Even other funds like Uwezo Fund and Youth Enterprise Development Fund have not succeeded very well like the NG-CDF. I suggest that Uwezo Fund and Youth Enterprise Development Fund be incorporated into the NG-CDF so that we can assist many youths to initiate various projects. Right now, we are restricted to secondary schools and security projects but the work of the NG-CDF seems to be making a lot of changes on the ground."
