    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I am on a point of order to inform the House on some matters. I am sorry, I should have said this during the Statement hour, but let me say it now. Further to your request two weeks ago on National Government - Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) and National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) disbursement, the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning asked me to inform the House that they have now fully disbursed NGAAF - 100 per cent. They have also disbursed Ksh10 billion out of the Ksh19 billion that was pending on NG- CDF. The balance of Ksh9 billion will be disbursed as he promised before the end of this Financial Year. For the first time in the history of this House, at least, since I joined, we are crossing over a new Financial Year without any arrears in NG-CDF. On county government funds, it is only the month of June that all county governments have not received money for a figure of about Ksh29 billion that he is working on for the month of June. Therefore, even our governors back in our counties should have no excuse now not to offer services to members of the public, or not to pay their workers as I have seen around the country. All the amounts have been disbursed. I repeat: For county governments, only the month of June is pending and only Ksh9 billion out the total allocation to NG-CDF. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
