    "content": "committees from 287 constituencies. I do not need to mention all of them. About 181 were approved by the National Assembly on 14th and have been gazetted with effect from April 2020 vide Gazette Notice No.3737 contained in the published list of 29th. This will run up to 2022. There are 90 constituencies that have been submitted to the Government Printer for publication. Ten have been submitted to the National Assembly which the Leader of the Majority Party tabled a few days ago, nine are currently being analysed by the Board for compliance with the NG-CDF Act. Regulations and gaps noted in the submissions have been communicated back to the constituencies for correction before presentation to the National Assembly for approval. Only one constituency has not submitted its nominees and the Board is working with it to fast-track the same by the end of the week. This contributes to delays when you do not submit the members of the constituency committee to the Board. You should not expect to receive funding including those that are pending. Finally, the following Bills are before the Committee: The National Government Constituencies Development Fund Bill, 2019 by Hon. Makali Mulu. The Report has been tabled in the House and should be embarked on for further processes. The County Wards Development Fund (Senate Bill No.34 of 2018) whose Report I tabled this morning. The National Government Constituencies Development Fund (Amendment) Bill, 2019 by Hon. (Dr.) Eseli is pending before the Committee. Possibly when we resume, we will be ready with the Report for tabling. I would like to encourage colleagues in view of what the Government has provided in terms of mitigation towards COVID-19 compliance with regulations. I would like to urge colleagues to engage with line ministries because there are additional funds. There is a total of Kshs57 billion set aside under the Stimulus Programme for different ministries. Therefore, Members should engage the line ministries in their respective counties and sub-counties to ensure they participate in identification of projects while at our level, we will look at the sharing formula. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
