    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You know Hon. Ichung’wah opened a Pandora’s Box in his closing remarks, but I will avoid that route for now. I must appreciate that today I have set my eyes on the Chair of the Public Petitions Committee. I have never had a chance to see him physically in this House. Hon. Mbai, I am happy to see you today. I wish that you continue being available and consult with my office. It is important that Chairpersons consult with my office, especially on issues of public importance such as public petitions. I second the Motion by echoing the words of Hon. Ichung’wah. This short recess is timely. I must thank HBC for exercising its discretion to revise the Calendar of the House to accommodate the need for Members to be with their constituents, especially now that the financial year has come to an end. The importance of NG-CDF can never be over-emphasised. It is also true that in many instances, many Members who have made it back to this House more than once have done so on account of how well their NG-CDF constituency committees have managed those funds. In the course of their day-to-day oversight and representation roles, Members have a duty to ensure that those funds are utilised appropriately. The NG-CDF is one of the decentralised funds that have had the greatest impact at the grassroots. I am, therefore, pleased to learn that the National Treasury has disbursed all the funds due in this financial year which ends tomorrow. I must thank Members from across the political divide for having exerted pressure. Without that pressure, that money would not have been disbursed. From past experience, we have never had an opportunity to have all the money The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
