    "content": "that even Parliament was a department under the Office of the President. Our Clerk of the National Assembly and everyone else were secondees from the dreaded Special Branch and the Criminal Investigations Department (CID). What we did was to give Members of Parliament an effective, workable, people-friendly platform to deliver development to their constituents. Over the years, we have seen a gradual increase in NG-CDF allocations. What is surprising in this House is that one month to the end of a financial year, we are yet to receive something commensurate with the first quarter. Yet we are here adjudicating for everything else. Right now, NG-CDF is under threat. Hon. Speaker, thank you sincerely for the Supreme Court's decision. That judgement would not have been possible without your input and the legal brains you put together. As the father of this House, we thank you. Having said that, there is something that we cannot run away from. It is the Members of Parliament who oversee NG- CDF and KeRRA. So, why have we thrown our mandate into the dustbin? Where is the Chairman of the National-Government Constituencies Development Fund Committee and the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure? We have a club of greedy governors whose only interest is to amass wealth, usurp national roles, and get money."
