Ruto Asks MPs to Protect CDF For Education’s Sake
President William Ruto has outlined why he desires the National Government-Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) to be safeguarded and designated as a constitutional fund.
President Ruto’s proposal to Parliament last week, requesting the two chambers to declare the NG-CDF a constitutional institution, was to ensure the nation’s educational progress.
He stated that the NG-CDF has facilitated the establishment of numerous schools and provided pupils to tens of thousands of students across the nation.
“The single most important asset we have as a nation is our human capital, and the way to make it better is through education,” he said.
Today, President Ruto addressed a church service held at the Wanjohi Primary School in the Kipipiri Constituency of Nyandarua County.
He was accompanied by Vice President Rigathi Gachagua, Cabinet Secretaries Zacharia Njeru (Lands) and Rebecca Miano (East African Community, Arid and Semi-Arid Lands and Regional Development), Nyandarua Governor Ndirangu Badilisha, and a group of legislators led by Majority Leader of the National Assembly Kimani Ichung’wa.
President Ruto said his government is committed to building up the opposition to make the country more open and honest.
However, he urged the opposition to implement their mandate in a peaceful and patriotic manner.
“We have no problem with what the opposition is doing to keep us in check. We believe in an accountable government,” said Ruto.
President Ruto stated that the government is dedicated to decreasing public borrowing and was pursuing policies and programs that will stimulate the economy and enhance income.
Rather than relying on debt, this is the most reliable method, according to him, for generating much more money to support development.
During a church service, Ruto spoke on Sunday at the Wanjohi Primary School in Kipipiri, Nyandarua.
He was joined by Vice President Rigathi Gachagua and Cabinet Secretaries Zacharia Njeru (Lands) and Rebecca Miano (EAC, Arid and Semi-Arid Lands and Regional Development).
Governor of Nyandarua, Ndirangu Badilisha, and a host of Members of Parliament, led by Majority Leader of the National Assembly, Kimani Ichung’wah, are among the other noteworthy leaders present during the event.
