    "content": " Thank you Hon. Speaker. I expected that we were going to have Statements, and so I rise on that point. Following what my Hon. Chairman of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund Committee presented, we have passed a Motion agreeing to the formation of Constituencies Development Fund Committees (CDFCs). The reality is that we are now in the last quarter of this financial year. While in Naivasha, I remember very well, the Cabinet Secretary promised that he was going to send Ksh7 billion twice in the month of February and then another Ksh7 billion on a monthly basis up to the end of the financial year. As we speak, the Board only received one Ksh7 billion last year and a second disbursement of Ksh7 billion in the month of February, whereas he had promised to send two payments of Ksh7 billion. Members here who represent their CDFCs are not able to give bursaries yet we are done with Term 1. University students are supposed to collect their exam cards subject to payment of fees, and some of them rely on bursaries from NG-CDF. We are being taken round in circles and the financial year is coming to an end. I have seen some CDFCs purporting to take photos that they are launching bursaries just to save themselves from angry students, but in reality, there is no money going to the universities or schools.
