    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I cannot agree more with the Leader of the Majority Party that, that is a political judgment. There is no Act of Parliament that has been subjected to litigation more than the NG-CDF Act. That is basically done by people who hate Members of Parliament. They are not doing it for anything else other than the hatred they have for Members of Parliament. When I read the judgment of the court, I was shocked because in 2013, the same Act was subjected to litigation. At that time, the issues were that Parliament was dividing the revenue into three: For the national Government, county governments and the NG-CDF. Subsequently, this House made an amendment and money was divided between the national Government and county governments. Additionally, NG-CDF was put under the national Government. There is no difference between a ministry that gets allocation from the national Government’s budget and NG-CDF. I was shocked to see in the judgment of the court that one of the reasons the Act is unconstitutional is because Parliament passes seven names of members of NG-CDF committees. How many names do we pass here? We even pass names of commissioners to various commissions, cabinet secretaries, principal secretaries and the Attorney-General.
