Speaker. I think I still need to answer a pending question from the Member on the money that the President of the Republic of Kenya promised the County Women Representatives of this great nation. There was a communique from State House or rather a Presidential Directive, communicated to Prof. Njuguna Ndung’u, the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, on additional allocations to the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NG-AAF). It states that His Excellency the President has directed the National Treasury to do the following; 1. Ksh56 million be immediately allocated and released, effective January 2023, to NG-AAF. 2. The NG-AAF budgetary allocation for Financial Year 2023/2024 be enhanced to Ksh3 billion. Hon. Speaker, if the previous allocation was Ksh2.13 billion, what is the difference?"}
