• 8 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the proposed Bill to amend the Constitution and anchor NG-CDF in it. At the outset, I support the amendment. Allow me to thank the great people of Subukia for giving me another chance to continue serving them. They voted me back overwhelmingly. It was a show of great love, great respect and a lot of trust. I promise them that I will continue serving them the way I have done. I call upon them to continue supporting me. If they have great ideas that that ... view
• 8 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, NG-CDF supports two functions, that is, schools’ infrastructure and provision of bursaries. There are very many schools that NG-CDF has transformed. The population is growing and, therefore, there is need for more schools. Therefore, we can attest that NG-CDF has been used to start new schools that accommodate a big number of students. Therefore, saying that we do away with NG-CDF will result in many students not attending school. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 8 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: Today, in my constituency, we do not have a Technical Training Institute (TTI), but there are so many constituencies which are very happy because they have TTIs and Kenya Medical Training Colleges (KMTCs) courtesy of NG-CDF. Even if some of us have not built the same yet, we are able to take our students to those institutions. Therefore, we cannot afford to lose the NG-CDF. view
• 8 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, the NG-CDF has sponsored very many students to schools through awarding of bursaries. There are families who cannot even afford a meal, leave alone schools fees. There are students that we sponsor fully. This is because, even if we gave them little money, they cannot manage to pay the balance. Therefore, it is important to make sure that NG-CDF is anchored in our Constitution to ensure that many needy students from poor and vulnerable families can access bursaries and continue with their schooling. I recall that last year alone, I was able to sponsor close to 13,000 ... view
• 8 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: The NG-CDF also deals with security. Most of our chiefs and security officers did not have offices. The NG-CDF has helped us to build offices for chiefs and new police posts. This has enhanced security in our country because we have brought services closer to the people. Most of us were re-elected to this House because of managing the NG-CDF kitty very well. Therefore, if NG-CDF is managed very well, it can transform this country to greater heights and we can do so much for the country. As we anchor NG-CDF in the Constitution, I will also request that since ... view
• 8 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: It is through NG-CDF that we are able to promote the elderly and the vulnerable with NHIF cards so that they can access medical facilities. If I look at the number of proposals in my office to start new schools, it is overwhelming. I call upon this House and Members to really support that the NG-CDF be anchored in the Constitution of Kenya. When I look at Senators - I take an example from Nakuru County. We have 11 constituencies. They criss-cross the county. It is important for this House to allocate oversight money to make sure that senators play ... view
• 8 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: Finally, I call upon teachers and principals not to send students home as we await the release of money. Thank you, Temporary Hon. Speaker. I support. view
