"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I invite Members to pay very keen attention to the Budget Policy Statement with respect to the NG-CDF. The reduction of NG-CDF allocation is at Ksh38 billion. So, what we are discussing is just a tip of the iceberg. We have a bigger problem that we will be dealing with in the next few days. That is the only Fund that works for the people. That is the only Fund that leaves no pending bills and that is the only Fund that is not over- priced in terms of procurement. I have studied the 170 pages of the current Budget Policy Statement, which I have here, and I already have 15 issues to raise. One of them is the reduction of the allocation for NG-CDF by Ksh38 billion. That is the information I want to leave for the House. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This matter of NG-CDF disbursements is so serious that it cannot be ignored. We have already engaged our constituents, gone around all our wards and had students fill forms for bursaries. This is the beginning of March and we did this work in December. There is a problem that needs to be discussed very seriously. I am encouraged to hear the Whip of the Majority Party, Hon. Osoro, saying that Ksh30 million is going to be disbursed to each constituency. So, this means that we will be able to deal with the bursaries. That is good and I congratulate the Cabinet Secretary, our former colleague, because he has kept his word, at least, on the bursaries. He said that he will do it by the end of February. We have a problem at the Board. Even if we get the other monies disbursed by NG- CDF within those few months, with projects that have never been approved, how are we going to deal with that? So, I believe it is time we invite the CEO so that he can face the House and tell us what he does not have. Is it that the good staff he had, some of them have resigned and left? Is it that there is a problem within the Board? For some of us like Hon. Baya, who have been here for the last 12 years, we can tell there is slow motion at the NG-CDF Board. We need to know what the source of the slow motion in NG-CDF is. Mr. Mbuno needs to tell us where the challenge is. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

It has ensured there is equity in this country. Areas that had been left behind have been brought forward because of the NG-CDF. We should not lose sight of the ball on this. We have to come out strongly, as Members of this House, to defend NG-CDF. We cannot allow the management there and the Board to play games with NG-CDF. I tell Mbuno and his team that they will not win this war. If they want to play with Parliament on the issue of NG-CDF, they will get out of the way and Parliament will have its way. That is because this is something that is fundamental for the development of this country and for the good of children, some of whom we have in here in the Gallery today."
