    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to speak on this Report. I have a little experience of how Uwezo Fund came about. This was one of our campaign strategies with Hon. Musalia Mudavadi during the 2013 General Election. We thought we would win in the first round and the money that had been kept aside for the re-run would be used to do something similar. The only difference would be that we would have put structures in place. That is why the Uwezo Fund is suffering. It is good to mention this because once it is in the Hansard, it will be clear that we were not doing it just for the sake of it. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, last week, the Speaker directed that reports from constitutional commissions be also debated on the Floor of this House. He said that they should be allocated good time. It is very important because that is one of the ways of implementing the Constitution. In this kind of debate, we are equally informing the public on what and how some of the committees are doing their work and what else needs to be done. There is a Member who said that we should spend some time popularising these Funds. Debating issues on the Floor of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
