The Speaker of the National Assembly, accompanied by a group of Members of Parliament, attended an important event hosted by Hon. Omar Mwinyi, the Changamwe MP. This event was the inauguration of a state-of-the-art swimming pool, funded through the NG-CDF, benefiting public schools in Changamwe.<\/p>\n

This facility aims to nurture swimming talents among the local youth.<\/p>\n

“I ask you Hon. Members to expand the responsibility of the NG-CDF because in many counties you visit the noticeable projects like schools and other projects are done by the NG-CDF as compared to the county governments, as anything you do to strengthen the NG-CDF I will be with you,” said the Speaker.<\/p>\n

During the event, the Speaker mentioned his long-standing friendship with Hon. Mwinyi and their connection to the late Vice President Kijana Wamalwa.<\/p>\n

He emphasized the importance of the NG-CDF in supporting various development projects and encouraged Honorable Members to explore expanding its mandate, with his commitment to embedding it in the Constitution to reduce legal disputes.<\/p>\n

“We must pigeonhole and protect resources to every development area,” said the Speaker. The President, Dr William Ruto, was noted as a staunch supporter of the NG-CDF.<\/p>\n

The Speaker called upon the people of Changamwe to support the President and pray for peace and unity in the country.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, he expressed support for Hon. Mwinyi’s initiatives and urged MCAs to work on legislation for a pension plan similar to that of Members of Parliament.<\/p>\n
