    "content": " Toilet construction. We only have two months into a new financial year. They have put emphasis on building classrooms and not toilets. We cannot build a classroom without sanitation at the end of the day. Even in our very simple homes that we erect in the villages or even here in the city, we start with a latrine or a toilet before we come up a substantive structure. This is a concern that has been raised. Just the other year, I had to thwart efforts of the same NG-CDF Board when they applied a retroactive law on NG-CDF Act as amended. This is another way of delaying projects in our constituencies. We only have next month, that is, April and May to get to the new financial year. We have received communication from our fund managers asking us what they should do in light of this. Hon. Speaker, you have always come to the rescue of this House when such a confusion arises. I believe with your indulgence and intervention on this matter, you will let us retain what we have because we have two months into a new financial year. When we shall come up with new proposals for the Financial Year 2024/2025, we can put all the concerns they have into perspective and infuse them in the proposals as and when they will require them. I thank you."
