    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for granting me the opportunity to address this matter. Let me start by thanking the Chair of the National Assembly Select Committee on NG-CDF for tabling and moving this Motion for approval. Hon. Speaker, Homa Bay Town Constituency is among the constituencies whose members of the NG-CDF Committee are being approved by this House. If the House chooses at the end – the delay in presentation of these names and their approval by the House is undermining the necessary works in our constituencies across the country. I am emphasizing this because we know that with COVID-19’s challenges, we are thinking of reopening schools and various development needs. It becomes difficult for constituencies and the country to progress, more so in a situation where the NG-CDF, which is the only meaningful devolved national Government funding, is being seen on the ground down there being delayed. So, I want to urge the House to approve my constituency among others. Hon. Speaker, as we move forward, the challenge that the other Members have addressed is, of course, an urgent issue. If the House approves, may I request that the Committee again intervenes and secures that the committee members are gazetted immediately.
