I want to assure the Members that it is time NG-CDF Board listened to the boards in various constituencies without question.

You should also take note that very soon we shall be asking them to give us a new Board and this is through the consultations which are going on now. We have a Board which is not fully constituted. Therefore, I will be asking the Cabinet Secretary to add the names. We are lacking four members in the Board and very soon we should be able to get the same. Members also have been complaining about the Fund Managers. Some of the Fund Managers have overstayed in their various constituencies that they are in and they are doing The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
