Speaker","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"There is no need to pre-emptively debate what we shall discuss tomorrow. I encourage you to have faith. Whenever the NG-CDF has been threatened, I have stood at the forefront to defend it without fear, favour, or prejudice. When disbursements have been delayed, I have personally contacted the Treasury to ensure the release of funds, and I shall continue to do so. When activists challenged the NG-CDF in Court, I engaged top legal counsel on your behalf. The caucus of lawyers in this House, led by Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo and Hon. Chepkonga, played a key role. The Supreme Court has now ruled that NG-CDF does not conflict with devolution. Soon, I shall issue a comprehensive ruling in response to the House, on the request of the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Junet. Rest assured that the NG-CDF is in safe hands with me. Let us proceed with other business. Tomorrow at 3.00 p.m., you shall all avail yourselves here. The Cabinet Secretary will be here."}
