    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The die is cast and we as Members of this House our position is very clear. We are not prepared to pass the Appropriation Bill, if there is no NG-CDF. There is no ambiguity and your Solomonic advice to the House is good for the time being. But as Members what we wanted to hear from both the Chair of the NG- CDF and Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee is when this money will arrive in our accounts. Some of us have served a second term and others longer. The problem in this House which we should not look away from, is when the Chairs and leadership are in bed with the Executive this House will suffer. This must stop. Article 95 of the Constitution is very clear, you are a stickler for both the Constitution and the Standing Orders. The NG-CDF is about our people, it is a matter of great concern to them. As Hon. Wamunyinyi said many of the children are not in school. This is because they cannot afford to pay Kshs5,000 or 6,000. They used to be helped by NG-CDF. For that reason, I think you have already alluded to putting a stalemate on this particular matter. We need some assurance that we will meet and this NG-CDF matter put forward as priority for this House. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
