• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: The NG-CDF is the only fund which is felt in the grassroots in this country. It is known by every child in every school, every makanga in any stage and any church member in the community because there are so many activities which it runs on the ground. We cannot rule it out. It has eclipsed many other Funds which are run by Government. People do not do their other functions which can bring development to the people. That is why I support fully and strongly that we amend the law, so that we can increase this percentage of our ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Like it has been echoed here, we, as overseers of this Fund and the committees which are in our constituencies, have challenges. If you have the fund account manager whom you cannot work with or move together, it becomes very difficult to know what is happening or where the projects are. As the NG-CDF Board puts the administrative figures in various constituencies, we request them to add a figure for the oversight committee which the Members of Parliament can use to visit those projects and oversee the same. More so, they should get some experts who can be paid to ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: This kitty is doing a lot of good to the community. We have so many projects which are going on. We need to change the Act so that it can be flexible. For example, there are those constituencies which have graders. Maybe, the Act will change and their graders will be sold. Let us not look at our constituencies like an egg because all eggs are oval. Our constituencies are very different. If a constituency has a grader which is helping in constructing roads in that constituency without waiting for the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) to do it, I ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: It is said that all porcupines have different legs, in Meru language. So, different constituencies have different needs. I had an experience with a colleague who had money and had nobody to give bursary because all his constituents are rich. The children go to very expensive schools and their parents can afford to pay the school fees. I will not tell you who that Member is. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are some constituencies where some Members have difficulties in knowing who to give the money 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. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: because many people take their children to big schools. When you have Kshs20 million and you have 20,000 applicants, you end up giving Kshs2,000 per child. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a disparity we should not allow. There are constituencies where we have a school from Standard One to Standard Eight without a single permanent classroom and yet, they need them. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Do not ask me why. There has been a Government since 1963 while I came to Parliament in 2013. Therefore, there was mismanagement of funds. What has the Ministry of Education been doing? view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: The Leader of the Minority Party is asking me why. What is the Government doing now as we talk to put up classrooms when we have 100 per cent transition? It is not putting up even a single classroom. All the eyes of Government, the DCs and education officers are looking up to NG-CDF to do everything, even putting up a toilet and gates. All the money that is supposed to be given to schools is squandered as they hide under the guise of NG-CDF. We should defend this kitty seriously because everybody wants to use or misuse it or ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate the Committee for the work well done. This is bringing the future of what we are doing and what ought to be done with the NG-CDF. For many years, even when I was a Member of Parliament, I observed a lot of development projects, which were being done by the NG-CDF particularly in the education sector. I understand that through the NG- CDF, we are supposed to do projects in the education and security ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: In our constituencies, there are many secondary schools which lack laboratories for the students to do their practicals. They lack administration blocks. Primary schools lack facilities which are essential for pupils. I concur with the other Members who said that they will propose some amendments so that we can allocate more funds for development in our constituencies. I am concerned about the bursary funds. The National Treasury knows that students normally report back to school every January. Those students depend on the NG-CDF since most of them come from poor backgrounds. At the same time, we expect the disbursement of ... view
