I requested to speak on this subject because this House is aware that I was the Chairman of the NG-CDF Committee in the last Parliament. As a Member of that Committee now, I want to state that I am sensing danger. In the last Financial Year, 2019/2020, close to Kshs14 billion was not disbursed to the NG-CDF Board. Just as Members have alluded, in this 2020/2021 Financial Year Budget, there is an attempt through the Supplementary Budget to reduce the allocation to the NG-CDF that you are already budgeting for in your constituencies, by Ksh10 billion. I am sure that the Budget and Appropriations Committee will not allow that to happen. The CS for National Treasury, where the NG-CDF is domiciled, should take the NG-CDF matter seriously. This House must show displeasure to the CS, Ukur Yatani on the issue of NG-CDF."}
