    "content": "Secondly, at the beginning of a new financial year, NG-CDF constituency committees are required to submit new proposals. As provided for in the Constitution, those proposals need to have gone through meaningful and active public participation. Public participation can only be meaningful if the Members of Parliament are available to lead and offer guidance to members of the public. Additionally, Members must ensure that the projects that are proposed and forwarded to the national board address the genuine concerns of the people on the ground and not the wishes of a few people who sit on the NG-CDF constituency committees. In the wisdom of the HBC, we resolved to make the recess two weeks for this purpose. It will also allow Committees that have not had time to sit to do so and finalise the reports that are pending before them. With those many remarks, allow me to request the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Opiyo Wandayi, who is a Member of HBC and the Member for Ugunja, to second. But I caution him that, because the recess will start on 7th July 2023, we are not giving him time to do other things other than go to Ugunja."
