John Mbadi","speaker_title":"The Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning","speaker":null,"content":"At the policy level, I want to reiterate that we have a strategy for managing Exchequer releases, especially in terms of devolved resources. I am a former Member of Parliament who served for 17 years. I also appreciate the role that the NG-CDF plays in our economic development and as a support to various social aspects of the society, including our children’s education. Hon. Speaker, I voluntarily came to your office without any invitation on a date in December that I cannot remember to discuss with you the challenges of the release of funds by the national Government."}
