    "content": "The NG-CDF has lost the glory it carried. The reason is because of the lethargy and long waiting for funds to be released. This is therefore to request the new board to fast track the process and do what they are expected. Wajir South is a very expansive constituency. It is the second largest and I stood up another time and said that it is almost the size of a country like Rwanda or almost the size of Mandera County. It is vast, the driest, hottest and has got the lowest number of schools and educational infrastructure yet it is still unable to get what it deserves. The funds we expected in 2018/19 are nowhere to be seen. So, I wonder whether a miracle will happen after approving this board. I support the nomination of this board and urge them to ensure that they deliver to us as per the requirements so that we get the glory of the NG-CDF again. While I have this opportunity, I want to add that we should expand the NG-CDF mandate to include health services which at this particular stage the counties are not delivering as required. I also urge that the NG-CDF funds be increased. Without taking much time as my other colleagues want to speak - I have waited for two-and-a-half hours just to get this opportunity to contribute to this Motion - I want to ask the new board to fast track release of the NG-CDF funds. Thank you, very much."
