"content": " That is the position, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have said this before. That the senators are misguided in believing that the National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) belongs to Members of Parliament. It belongs to wananchi . No single Member of Parliament is allowed to sign a single document or receive a single cent from the NG-CDF. God knows that. In fact, this so-called Senate Oversight Fund is illegal. Someone must go to court to strike it out. It cannot keep going on. It is a wrong thing despite the fact that we approved it. We cannot keep bribing senators to do their work. That, if you do not give it to them, they will not pass certain motions. If NG- CDF is abolished, Hon. David Ochieng’ will not die. However, someone’s child will not go to school. I have said this before and I would like to say it again: We should stop equating NG- CDF to Members allowances. It is not our money and we do not touch it.
