    "content": " Under the NG-CDF Act of 2015, we had an Oversight Committee where a Member of Parliament could be a member or designate members of the public to sit in that committee. It will now not be possible for a Member of Parliament to sit in that Oversight Committee. There is a clear separation of roles between those who are implementing NG-CDF or national Government projects and those who are offering oversight. Understandably, there has been that argument and the school of thought that you cannot be the ones appropriating money in the National Assembly, then you have a role in their implementation and at the same time oversee the same amount. We will now have the role to appropriate money to national Government projects including those under NG-CDF. We will have no role at all in the implementation phase so that we can clearly oversee money that we appropriated to ensure it is utilised for the purpose for which it was intended."
