"content": "Hon. Members, as you are aware, the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) was established in 2003 under the NG-CDF Act 2015 with an objective of supplementing infrastructure development at the constituency level in matters falling within the exclusive functions of the National Assembly. Actually, 2015 is when the amendment of the original Act was done. The Fund commenced operations in April 2004. Over the years, the Fund has been instrumental in enabling grassroots development, including the construction of school infrastructure as well as providing bursaries to needy students. Hon. Members, in recognition of the enormous achievements of the Fund as demonstrated by substantial transformation across the country, the Board has organised a series of events highlighting the tremendous impact of the NG-CDF. The events will culminate in a national celebration to be observed on Friday, 3rd May 2024 at Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi. The ceremony will be presided over by His Excellency Hon. Dr William Samoei Ruto, CGH, the President and Commander--In-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces. In view of the role of Parliament and Members of Parliament, specifically in the conceptualisation, marshalling of legislation and oversight of the Fund, the NGCDF Board has extended an invitation to all Hon. Members to the celebration on Friday, 3rd May 2024 at 9.00 a.m. All Guests are expected to be seated by 8.30 a.m. All Hon. Members are welcome to the celebrations. Thank you."

Section 59(3) of the Affordable Housing Act, 2024 provides that the Cabinet Secretary shall table before Parliament, Regulations made under this section within thirty (30) days of commencement of the Act. In this regard, and as part of the processing of the envisaged Regulations; the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development submitted to the National Assembly the Draft Affordable Housing Regulations 2024 on Friday 26th April 2024. I hasten to note that the Ministry has had engagements with various stakeholders on the Draft Regulations as part of public participation in line with the Statutory Instruments Act, Cap 2A. Hon. Members, noting the centrality of the Regulations to the full implementation of the Affordable Housing Programme, and pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 210(2), I hereby refer the Draft Affordable Housing Regulations 2024 to the Committee on Delegated Legislation for consideration. Hon. Members, while appreciating that matters of affordable housing concern county governments in accordance with Article 110 of the Constitution, I direct the Committee to sit jointly with the Senate Committee on Delegated Legislation to consider the Draft Regulations. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
