    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will be very brief. We have walked this journey for far too long. We took the Cabinet Secretary’s word seriously because we understood that he would honour it. Only a few months are left before the end of the financial year. Therefore, once we get the money, there will be an audit issue because it will be claimed that the funds for that financial year were not adequately and promptly utilised and, therefore, there was no value for money. We would like to find out exactly what is happening through the Office of the Leader of the Majority Party. We could be in bigger trouble than the country has been made to believe we are in, if the money for mundane contribution to our people through the NG-CDF cannot be disbursed. The same applies to ordinary budgets like the development budget. Does it mean that we are sinking deeper into a hole every day? This romantic story we are being told about the economy doing well is just a story to assuage people and make them feel good. We need to be told the truth of the matter. Finally, many constituencies that have submitted their project proposals for the Financial Year 2024/2025 have long received the code list. Those that have not received the code list probably had issues with the submission of project proposals. On that matter, I can defend the NG-CDF Board and the Committee. Our current issues are not a problem of their making but a bigger problem in the country, but nobody is willing to tell us the truth. The truth shall set us free."
