The collection of views on whether the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) should be retained through a legal backup or be done away with has concluded in Marsabit County with residents taking a united stand for its retention.
The public participation sessions that were held in the four constituencies of Laisamis, North Horr, Moyale, and Saku saw residents and the local Members of Parliament unanimously call for the entrenchment of the Amendment Bill No.4, 2025, into the Constitution.
At the Marsabit Catholic Conference Hall, the residents defended the existence of the NG-CDF, the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF), and supported the creation of the Senate Oversight Fund (SOF), saying the kitties were the best-suited vehicles of development at the grassroots level.
In the Saku constituency alone, NG-CDF has initiated 512 development projects, which include improvement of infrastructure in schools, feeder roads, government offices, water connections, and education bursaries to thousands of vulnerable children.
