    "content": "The NG-CDF funds is such an important matter that does not just touch on the hearts of MPs but also people in our constituencies. Hon. Deputy Speaker, you will recall that in our last report we indicated that we had received up to 50 per cent of this financial year’s funding. That is Kshs20 billion out of Kshs41 billion. We also reported that there were some arrears amounting to Kshs4.9 billion, on which this House resolved after we reported that the funds had not been received. This House resolved that the funds should be captured in the Supplementary Budget that is coming. The Committee on Implementation (COI) raised the matter with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) of the National Treasury for implementation of that particular resolution of the House. We also raised the matter with the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC) for them to capture the funds in the Supplementary Budget that will soon be before the House. Given that the Supplementary Budget is coming up for debate soon, if these arrears are captured therein, the matter should be settled. There is the question of the funds for the current financial year. We are in the third quarter now. I had a meeting with the Committee yesterday. It was reported to us that only Kshs2 billion had been received for the third quarter."
