    "content": "from the National Treasury, we have asked the Board to release the Kshs2 billion, which would amount to about Kshs5 million per constituency. The National Treasury has not complied with the law in terms of release of funds to constituencies. As of now, we ought to have received at least three-thirds of the total allocation, which would amount to about Kshs100 million per constituency. As at now, each constituency on average has received Kshs66 million. The balance is between Kshs45 million and Kshs50 million. I have engaged the leadership. You are aware, Hon. Speaker, and your office has been very helpful in the past. I still trust that you will put in a word to help Members receive these funds because projects that were initiated need to be completed. The Constituencies need to be funded so that they can do what they normally do to support needy children through bursaries. Together with the Leader of the Majority Party and the Whip of the Majority Party, we need to push to ensure that the National Treasury releases the funds. There is nothing more I can say. That is the status. I thank you very much."
