    "content": "been talking about a good sum that has gone into our various funds. We are happy that the Government has disbursed funds for bursaries, but we have not received funds for development. We are just a stone’s throw away from the Executive. What will we do with the various projects we have proposed? As you are aware, Hon. Deputy Speaker, procurement processes must be followed to the letter. We must follow procurement processes. When will we procure items? We amended the Public Procurement and Disposal Act in 2015. You cannot procure until you get funds. If various constituencies have not received funds, I foresee a situation where they will begin the procurement process less than a month after they get funds. We are now in March. That means that by 30th June or the end of the financial year, most of the projects will not have been procured. We will push forward to the next year. It is simply going to be a burden. Once we put this into the Constitution, it will be easier and faster for us to proceed."
