We hope that God will keep him in His glory. The second limb of my concern relates to a communication that came from the National Government-Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) Board yesterday to our respective fund managers. In that communication, all fund managers are required to recall the proposals and remove anything touching on toilets to Junior Secondary Schools. Besides the fact that we only have two months into a new financial cycle…."

"content": " Toilet construction. We only have two months into a new financial year. They have put emphasis on building classrooms and not toilets. We cannot build a classroom without sanitation at the end of the day. Even in our very simple homes that we erect in the villages or even here in the city, we start with a latrine or a toilet before we come up a substantive structure. This is a concern that has been raised. Just the other year, I had to thwart efforts of the same NG-CDF Board when they applied a retroactive law on NG-CDF Act as amended. This is another way of delaying projects in our constituencies. We only have next month, that is, April and May to get to the new financial year. We have received communication from our fund managers asking us what they should do in light of this. Hon. Speaker, you have always come to the rescue of this House when such a confusion arises. I believe with your indulgence and intervention on this matter, you will let us retain what we have because we have two months into a new financial year. When we shall come up with new proposals for the Financial Year 2024/2025, we can put all the concerns they have into perspective and infuse them in the proposals as and when they will require them. I thank you."

It is true that NG-CDF Board has been asking fund managers and Members of Parliament to revise some of the proposals that have been sent. I for one was asked to revise mine and I diligently did that so that I can fast-track the process. However, more importantly, we need to have a conversation with the Board because projects are specific to constituencies. Members of Parliament and fund managers understand projects they require in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

I thought some of them were ridiculous because what I was asked to amend is what my people want. Why do they want me to do something else? I know there has been the issue of walls. They said we cannot build walls using NG-CDF funds. There are several things that have come out. We need to sit down with them so that we align the demands of constituents and what the constituency requires."
