    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me to also join the others in thanking the Chairman for the update he has given us. I think our position has been clearly explained by Hon. Okelo. That is what we stand by. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party who has persistently assisted us to get the money when the National Treasury becomes adamant. May I make one plea: That there is some form of equalisation. We have just heard that some constituencies have received between 25 per cent and 35 per cent, while some others have received 50 per cent. We may not be able to know the reasons behind that, but it is good if there can be a form of balancing so that, that disparity is cleared and that there is some form of equity as we proceed with the way the money is released by the board. Then it would be useful to us as MPs. Otherwise, let what has been promised, that we have the entire amount from the NG-CDF kitty released by February, be kept. That is so that we are able to implement those projects which the Government itself, through the Board, has approved for us."
