"content": "When you talk about specialised groups, men in our rural areas fall in that category. The sooner we wake up to that reality, the better. Otherwise, they will wake us up and we will not be a happy lot. Not that they are any happier even as we speak. In talking about those groups and Funds, and the way we are involved in them, there is an issue that speaks to the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) as we handle it. I know we want to create a Ward Fund, and that is a good thing. However, we are not speaking about where the NG-CDF as we know it will be. If we are creating a Ward Development Fund to replace the NG-CDF, we are getting it wrong. You cannot do away with such a success story. We should be marketing it to the rest of world because it is such a successful model. I know some Hon. Members might have misused it. Again, we have the relevant agencies to deal with individual cases. We can only create a Ward Development Fund because we have succeeded with the NG-CDF. Let us not replace the NG-CDF."
