He commended the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) for its positive impact on citizens and cautioned leaders against politicizing its use.  The legislator also criticized the Social Health Authority healthcare system, arguing that many Kenyans continue to face challenges in hospitals despite reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
