"content": "May I point out that with the recent amendments to the NG-CDF Act, Members of Parliament have no role to play in the NG-CDF anymore? That must be very clear to everybody. The Act removed our oversight role at the constituency level. Members of Parliament now have to come to this House to debate, adopt, or reject reports, similar to this one. We do not want to hear cases all over of Members of Parliament having misappropriated or mishandled the NG-CDF funds. The NG-CDF is now fully in the hands of the NG-CDF Board. We have the NG-CDF committees at the constituency level, The NG-CDF committees are supposed to deal with the disbursed monies and prepare reports. Those reports are audited by various entities that go to the constituencies, including the NG-CDF Board, the Auditor-General, and any other auditor who is supposed to check the accounts. After that, those reports are brought here, and Members of Parliament discuss them to see how their NG-CDF funds are used. The misnomer that the NG-CDF is under execution and implementation by this House is totally misplaced. We do not do that anymore. Therefore, nobody should go to court to challenge that the NG-CDF is in the hands of Members of Parliament because that is not true. Our work is to oversee the reports once they are brought here and leave it to the committees to receive the money, make the budgets which are approved by the Board, and execute those budgets at the end of the day. Even where matters are pending in court, this remains the position, which should be made very clear everywhere. With those remarks, I urge that we adopt this Report."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this debate, clearly stating that we support the Report of the Auditor-General. Our county governments should learn from what the NG-CDF is doing, especially in project implementation, and ensure that we oversee whatever the NG-CDF committees and the boards are doing. If you move around our constituencies and most of the counties, you will see projects that are done by the NG-CDF on billboards within the constituencies. You will not see anything that the county governments do. We oversee the NG-CDF to ensure that there is proper school infrastructure so that we can participate in the implementation of the new Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) within our constituencies. All these things are happening because the NG-CDF and Members of the National Assembly have implemented and overseen some of those projects. I want to congratulate the President because he recently increased funding for the NG- CDF. He also insisted that the Ministry has no business constructing classes. He gave that responsibility to the NG-CDF. He also allocated an additional Ksh7 million to every constituency to construct new classrooms for pupils in Grades Six and Seven under the CBC. In short, a lot is happening within the constituencies. We are proud of the members of the NG-CDF committees. We are also hopeful that we will receive more funds as we move forward to continue to implement some serious projects, especially on security and infrastructure. You will realise that we do not have enough classrooms due to low funds. As far as the constituencies are concerned, you may want to construct classrooms and ensure the security of the area. Therefore, we support the NG-CDF. We are waiting for the Report of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) to ensure that the NG-CDF is enshrined within the Constitution and make it mandatory. We will not have to go back and forth in court on issues of the NG-CDF. This will allow us to fully implement all projects, especially the infrastructure projects by the ministries and those by the security teams within our constituencies.
