    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is about the NG-CDF. The issue of NG-CDF is serious. It is a very serious issue. You remember how we fought very hard to have a Fund that was independent from the Executive. Hon. Muriuki Karue came up with the first CDF for a purpose. I want the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party and my good friend, the Chief Whip of the Majority Party, to listen to this. It may not be their mistake; it is our mistake. We approved the Budget in June last year. Members, please, be practical because this is about your lives. I want you to hear this. We passed the Budget in June. July was the second month, August the third; September, October, November, December, January, February and now March - 10 months in total. We are all accountable to those who elected us. We are all accountable to the Constitution as the elected representatives as per the letter and the spirit of Article 1 of the Constitution. I do not know whether we have a NG-CDF Committee. I do not know whether Members are aware of their rights. We have advertised for bursaries and yet, the NG-CDF Board has not even approved the project proposals for the NG-CDF committees in the constituencies. I am shocked! Are we in the right House? Are we in our right senses? Are we determined to assist the people who have elected us? We have advertised things that do not exist. Those proposals do not exist. My brother, the Leader of the Majority Party, alluded to this issue a few weeks ago, but it has not been addressed. I have been on the neck of the leadership of the NG-CDF Management Board. They release approvals every day. Those approvals do not exist. We are lying to ourselves. So, my good friend, Dr Makali, and cohorts, it is high time we dealt with The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
