Baringo Central Member of Parliament (MP) Joshua Kandie has urged his constituents to support an Amendment Bill which seeks to enshrine the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) into the Constitution.
Kandie made the call when he presided over the launch of Sh69.4 million bursaries' distribution exercise at Kabarnet National Museum grounds on Tuesday.
He stated that the bill, which would come up for a countrywide public participation from May 5 to 7 of this year, is crucial in the realization of grassroots development.
The legislator argued that transferring some of the functions to county governments would be a major step backwards since it would dilute its impacts and ultimately kill the momentum of development at the constituency level. "I am urging all of you to turn out on that day in large numbers for the public participation so that the message is home," he said.
