    "content": " Let me make my point, Hon. Deputy Speaker. On the NG-CDF, we need to agree with the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury that NG-CDF disbursement is done on a quarterly basis. The report is then given to this House. It is not right that some constituencies have received their full allocation while others are yet to receive even half. This is something that the new Chair needs to take up very seriously. The departmental budgets in other areas have been fully disbursed. We have a situation where this House is not respected. The Cabinet Secretary can disburse resources to other projects dealing with roads or health and some of the disbursed funds are stolen. We need to be very serious. The new Chair and the leadership of this House must ensure that this House is given the first disbursement. We cannot be sitting here to pass Government agenda when our projects have stalled on the ground. The new House leadership needs to be firm. I miss Duale on this one. Duale was very firm. He used to go to the Cabinet Secretary to ensure that we get our money. The new Leader of the Majority Party needs to take up that job and ensure that we get our money on time."
