    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to also add my voice to this matter. I want to sincerely thank the Chairman and the Leader of the Majority Party and the whole Committee for doing a good job. My concern is that it should not be an issue of appealing. The law is very clear on when this money is supposed to be released. Each financial year, whatever we should get, we should get it during that financial year. The money should be released at the appropriate time and, more so, the outstanding Kshs4.9 billion. Most of our constituency committees had committed that money to works which are yet to be paid for. I would want to disagree with my colleagues a bit. I belong to the school that thinks that, for the first time, this House has done very well and we should break the record. Instead of a minority of us coming back to the House, the majority should come back. I think most of us will be back. Even as we prepare to come back, let the money be released in time so that we can meet our obligations. The calendar of education is so squeezed such that parents have issues with paying fees. Most of the CDF money, almost 35 per cent, goes towards bursary. Those are my comments, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you."
