Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank the Committee for the good job they have done. Many colleagues have contributed before me and have clearly stated the good work NG-CDF is doing at the constituency level. We do not have to put a lot of emphasis on that because anybody can see what has been done.

Some of the reports we receive - especially what I saw in the media the other day - is a continuous and sustained campaign to paint Members of this House in bad light. But, as clearly 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.

demonstrated by the Report of the Committee, the NG-CDF has done a very good job. I have heard people speak about the 100 per cent transition of pupils from primary schools to secondary schools. That is interesting. In Laikipia North where I come from, we have a whole division without a public school. It is very sad as leaders when go back home and tell people to take children to schools that have never been built by any Government. This year alone, from the NG- CDF money allocated to my constituency, in Sosian Ward, I have started seven new primary ...

I plead with Members of this House that we must really re-look at the funding of NG- CDF. As we speak, this is February. We are just a few months to the end of a financial year and yet, up to date, 85 per cent of the NG-CDF allocation to constituencies has not been released. This leaves a lot to be desired. As we read about corruption scandals left, right and centre in this country, billions of shillings being syphoned through corruption by doing dams that are neither in Heaven nor Earth, Kshs100 million meant to build schools for Kenyan ...

We have seen the Ministry of Education allocating a lot of funds for infrastructure development and as Hon. Kaluma mentioned earlier, NG-CDF is a classic example of what devolved funds can do. The NG-CDF reaches the lowest unit of our locations, sub-location and villages. It beats logic why money should be allocated for infrastructure in the Ministry while the same money can be allocated to NG-CDF and does exactly what the Ministry purports to do with the same funds. If this is not sustaining corruption, then you wonder what it is. I do not want to believe that anybody seated ...

When it comes to security issues, a lot of funds have been allocated to the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. That Ministry should come out clearly and spend funds to construct police posts. Recently, we allocated funds for construction of police posts in some of the places where we come from - and which Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker you are not a stranger to. When we forwarded those proposals to the National Government Constituencies Development Fund Board, they were rejected because they purport that the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government now gives police officers ...

allowance. Even if you were to give a police officer a house allowance for a place like Wangwachi, you wonder where they will get a house to rent. In places like Nakwa or Lonyek, you give a police officer house allowance to get a house where? Going forward, we need to look at what NG-CDF is doing. As a House, we need to strengthen the NG-CDF. Once again, I want to say that the Committee has done a very good job. It is our mandate as Members of this House to depart from what we are seeing in Kenya – ...

Shukrani, Mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Nimesimama kuchangia Hoja hii na kuiunga mkono vile imerekebishwa na Mhe. Pukose. Vile wanenaji wengine wamesema, hata Bibilia takatifu, katika Zaburi 22:1, inasema kwamba ni bora mtu kuwa na jina zuri kuliko fedha na dhahabu. Kwa hivyo, wenzetu walilimbikizia lawama wengine; kwamba walikula rushwa na Kamati ya Bunge ikakaa ikafanya uchungizi na wakatoa mapendekezo yao. Kule nje, majina ya wengi wetu yameharibika na tunaonekana kuwa watu waliokuja hapa kula rushwa ya Kshs10,000 ama Kshs20,000.

Kama walivyosema Wabunge wenzangu, tungependa pia kuona wenzetu ambao walitoa lawama hii wakisema waliona hiki na kile, waende kwa Idara ya Ujajusi ama kwa Tume ya Kupambana na Ufisadi wakatoe ripoti zao huko ili wachunguzwe. Hatutakaa hapa baada ya kupitia hali ngumu katika maisha halafu tuchafuliwe majina na watu ambao wako na maneno yao. Nimesoma Ripoti iliyoko mbele yetu na nikaona mheshimiwa mmoja ambaye ametajwa akisema mheshimiwa mwenzake alimlimbikizia lawama kwa sababu walishindania kiti fulani. Sasa ni viti gani vinashindaniwa Bungeni baada ya kuwashinda wapinzani wetu kule nyanjani? Sasa wameleta maneno hayo yote na wameharibia jina Bunge nzima.

Nawaomba Wabunge waheshimiwa, jina “mheshimiwa” lina heshima zake. Wale ambao wameharibu heshima hiyo, wakutane na wale wanafanya uchunguzi na wabebe mizigo yao wenyewe.
