"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is about the NG-CDF. The issue of NG-CDF is serious. It is a very serious issue. You remember how we fought very hard to have a Fund that was independent from the Executive. Hon. Muriuki Karue came up with the first CDF for a purpose. I want the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party and my good friend, the Chief Whip of the Majority Party, to listen to this. It may not be their mistake; it is our mistake. We approved the Budget in June last year. Members, please, be practical because this is about your lives. I want you to hear this. We passed the Budget in June. July was the second month, August the third; September, October, November, December, January, February and now March - 10 months in total. We are all accountable to those who elected us. We are all accountable to the Constitution as the elected representatives as per the letter and the spirit of Article 1 of the Constitution. I do not know whether we have a NG-CDF Committee. I do not know whether Members are aware of their rights. We have advertised for bursaries and yet, the NG-CDF Board has not even approved the project proposals for the NG-CDF committees in the constituencies. I am shocked! Are we in the right House? Are we in our right senses? Are we determined to assist the people who have elected us? We have advertised things that do not exist. Those proposals do not exist. My brother, the Leader of the Majority Party, alluded to this issue a few weeks ago, but it has not been addressed. I have been on the neck of the leadership of the NG-CDF Management Board. They release approvals every day. Those approvals do not exist. We are lying to ourselves. So, my good friend, Dr Makali, and cohorts, it is high time we dealt with 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."

"content": "the rogue elements at the NG-CDF Board. Approvals do not require anything. The money can come later. Why are they delaying the approvals? It is because they want to incite Members against the Government. They want to incite you. That is why they are withholding the approvals. We are all being made to look very bad. I look very bad as an elder because I had advertised for projects and yet, the money and approvals have not been granted. Do I not look very bad? Does the Government not look very bad? Does everybody not look very bad? Who takes responsibility? Leader of the Majority Party, bring a censure motion tomorrow morning as it is your party that appointed the Board plus the management. They are criminalising us, wasting our children’s time and creating apathy and hopelessness among school-going children. It is not fair in modern-day Kenya for somebody to take us round for 10 months without approvals. Colleagues, if it was back in those days, we would have a motion tomorrow morning to disband that Board and the management, and put in place a new team that would deal decisively with the NG-CDF and implement it. The NG-CDF we had in mind is not what we are seeing right now. So, my good friend, I have raised this matter in the House Business Committee. Give us the approvals if you truly care about the welfare of school-going children who require school fees. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the temperatures in the areas you and I come from are currently hitting 40 degrees Celsius. The parents are not getting assistance, the students are out of school and yet, we are coming up with advertisements but there is no money. I challenge you, Leader of the Majority Party. If you truly represent the Government, ask those guys to be accountable for what we have asked them to do."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will be very brief. We have walked this journey for far too long. We took the Cabinet Secretary’s word seriously because we understood that he would honour it. Only a few months are left before the end of the financial year. Therefore, once we get the money, there will be an audit issue because it will be claimed that the funds for that financial year were not adequately and promptly utilised and, therefore, there was no value for money. We would like to find out exactly what is happening through the Office of the Leader of the Majority Party. We could be in bigger trouble than the country has been made to believe we are in, if the money for mundane contribution to our people through the NG-CDF cannot be disbursed. The same applies to ordinary budgets like the development budget. Does it mean that we are sinking deeper into a hole every day? This romantic story we are being told about the economy doing well is just a story to assuage people and make them feel good. We need to be told the truth of the matter. Finally, many constituencies that have submitted their project proposals for the Financial Year 2024/2025 have long received the code list. Those that have not received the code list probably had issues with the submission of project proposals. On that matter, I can defend the NG-CDF Board and the Committee. Our current issues are not a problem of their making but a bigger problem in the country, but nobody is willing to tell us the truth. The truth shall set us free."

Some of us had issued cheques. We are, therefore, waiting for them to give us money so that the cheques can be signed. That needs to be clarified. I also want to tell the Board that while we support them, they need to always remember that bursaries are the most sensitive issue in the NG-CDF. You do not joke with bursaries. You can joke with development, but not with bursaries for the students."
