    "content": "do like investing in other areas? On the same note, we must make sure that the NG-CDF and the Women Enterprise Development Fund are not just turned into bursary kitties because all that we seem to be doing is handing out bursaries. Once you have given out a bursary, you want to be seen as having done development in your area. We must make sure that we do not turn those kitties into bursary funds. They need to have impact on the ground. If we coordinate ourselves better, we will avoid duplicating the awarding of bursaries to people across the board. Like the previous Member has said, we are duplicating disbursement of bursaries. There are those who benefit twice or thrice. Finally, it is important that we get a board for the NG-CDF. We have sung about this for a long time. Also, the CEO, Mr. Mbuno, should rein in on the fund managers. The fund managers are likely to send Mbuno home before they send us home. They behave like they are the ones who were elected and you were seconded to them. If that is the way the NG-CDF Act reads, we must look for ways of amending it. Those fund managers will send MPs home in the fourth or fifth year. I am warning those who have not seen the danger coming. If they cannot work with you, if they are your bosses at the constituency level, every other person will wonder why they voted for you. Mr. Mbuno should rein in on his fund managers. If they rein in on him, let him tell us. We do not have a board. He has been acting for eight years. We need to find out what is ailing the NG-CDF management because there is something that is not working. This is not the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) we knew in the 10th Parliament. You could impact on your people heavily. Those fund account managers are impacting on Members of Parliament now. I warn you in advance. They will send you home. Watch out."
