"content": " The CEO of the NG-CDF has been acting for over eight years and that has been very unfair and irregular. Even by the rule of thumb, the CEO should not be interviewed; he should be confirmed as the CEO of the Fund. He is a very nice man. Mr. Mbuno is a very nice man. He will even pick your calls at midnight. I do not think we can ever get a guy similar to Mr. Mbuno. I am sure once this board is confirmed, they are going to appoint, Mr. Mbuno as the substantial CEO of the NG-CDF. If they do not, the Chair of the NG-CDF should take action. We can also send them back home. The list which has been presented by the Chair of the Committee is very good. Academic qualifications are okay. There is one with a PhD, the rest of them have masters and are complemented by a politician who is one of us. On those grounds, even without regional balance which we cannot achieve with seven members… I am saying this knowing that even my region is not represented. Member for Kikuyu has brought the Chair of NG-CDF and I am not complaining. There is no person from my ethnicity and I am supporting. That is why I am saying the CEO must be confirmed. I support and I want to thank the Chairman for a good job. Once this board is put in place, they must move with speed because as we speak, disbursement of the NG-CDF funds has been delayed. We are now three months to the end of the financial year and less than 20 per cent of the NG-CDF fund has been disbursed. Therefore, the board must move with speed to ensure that the NG-CDF money is disbursed very quickly so that we do not deny Kenyans the right to development, especially in villages where this money touches the local mwananchi . Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support. Thank you very much."
