    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. This is the House that is mandated to allocate funds. We realised that we have allocated a lot of funds to National Gender and Equality Commission and most of those funds will be used in board room meetings, conferences and so on. We want this empowerment to go to the women on the ground. The only way we can have these funds going directly to the empowerment of women of this country is through National Government Affirmative Action Fund, which was introduced to this House for the 47 county women representatives. You will realise that for a long time, we have used a sizable amount of our money in the recurrent expenditure. The National Gender and Equality Commission only have a recurrent budget. Theirs is just conference and advocacy. Whenever we have funds, if it is possible, we reach to the women at the grassroots level."
