    "content": " Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to ventilate on this very wrong judgement, which was passed against NG-CDF. I was part of the legal team which represented the National Assembly on this matter. We were able to ventilate on a number of issues but, to our surprise, out of the nine key issues, the court was not able to appreciate any of them despite the fact that we were able to put in the proper legal position. The court came in biased. My worry and concern, because we know in any trial, we are able to get the things that are not being said... The Petitioners, whose names have been alluded to in this House - the Council of Governors and our Senate, have one key issue - which is sibling jealousy in the sense that a counsel could stand before the judges and say that Members of Parliament are using the money as pocket money to campaign. That tells us the kind of conversations that are made behind our backs. It is important that we put it very clearly that NG-CDF is under the national Government. The national Government can spend that money as provided by the Constitution. I noted one of the key drivers of NG-CDF and its success level is that 90 per cent of the funds go to development and tangible things which benefit the common person. In the contrary, the Council of Governors know very well that they spend 90 per cent of their money doing The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
