    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Bowen. You are preaching to the converted. Last week, the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning was summoned to this House to address the NG-CDF issue. The Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the Leader of the Majority Party, and the Leader of the Minority Party are all aware. We have just concluded a House Business Committee meeting. The Minority Whip and others in that Committee are also aware that tomorrow, at precisely 3.00 p.m., the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning will appear before this House. I have already informed him that he is not coming to engage in unhelpful rigmaroles. He is first expected to confirm that part of the funds has already been wired and, secondly, to outline how the remaining funds will be disbursed as we approach the one-month recess. It is now entirely up to the House. If you prefer that Order No. 1 through Order No. 4 be NG-CDF and NGAAF, we can continue talking at each other, even though the solution is already in hand. The House Business Committee was clear, and Hon. Millie can confirm that the NG-CDF is central to constituency management and is here to stay. No one shall wish it away. We shall ensure that the Treasury places NG-CDF at the top of the priority list for Exchequer releases. We understand the economic challenges the country is facing. Still, we also know that with proper planning and engagement, NG-CDF and NGAAF will continue to be disbursed for you to manage constituency affairs.
