As we look into regulating or controlling transport and fares in the country, it is also important to note that among other businesses that affect the public are the basic needs. We have issues to do with rent. Rent is a real issue because somebody wakes up one morning and hikes rent and tenants are not able to pay. That is one of the things we need to consider if we regulate transport. We have to think of regulating house rents, food such as sugar, cooking oil, maize flour and other basics. We also have hospital, electricity and even water ...

I support this Motion by Hon. Didmus Barasa. Let us not only concentrate on transport, but also look at other sectors that affect the public.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also support this Motion on NG-CDF and state that since the inception of the NG- CDF, it has done much in the constituencies. We are a country that is happy because of the NG- CDF. It is what is making MPs more relevant to their constituents because the development that comes through the NG-CDF is very significant and the public really appreciates.

Before devolution, the NG-CDF was working on health facilities. We must relook at the functions that were done by NG-CDF before they were devolved. This is because many of the facilities which were constructed then by NG-CDF are non-functional. It is important that the county governments take over those facilities and ensure they serve the people. We do not have separate people for MPs and others for governors. So, I urge that those facilities that were constructed be taken up and facilitated to serve the people because it is a waste of resource.

Most of the time we get applications from the public who want to fundraise and construct schools. I think it would be important if we strengthened NG-CDF to fully support education in the counties. Fundraisings should be a thing of the past because the Government has provided money for specific functions at the counties. I urge that these fundraisings that are always arranged by the public to develop schools should stop. If it means scaling up the NG-CDF to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained ...

cater for these needs, let it be so. We cannot be doing fundraisings for hospital bills and development of schools whereas the President declared that the NG-CDF can be used for construction of offices and schools.

I also know that there is a budget for sports in the NG-CDF. I know my proposal would elicit controversy but I wish it could be understood because sports is a social function. We wish to request that the sports fund be added to our Affirmative Action Fund so that we leave MPs to carry out development functions as we fund social functions, for purposes of distinction and in effect avoidance of duplication.
