"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As one Member said, we listened to the Cabinet Secretary courtesy of him having been our colleague and we accorded him that respect. In February, the Cabinet Secretary was categorical that he was going to send two tranches of Ksh7 billion. From that month, it would be Ksh7 billion monthly up to the time he completes sending the amount for this financial year. He has now said that in February, he sent Ksh7 billion, and today he has sent another Ksh7 billion that is yet to get to the NG-CDF Board. So, we cannot count it. He is saying that after sending another Ksh7 billion at the end of this month, he will be behind by one month. Which calculation is he using? We are in April. He was supposed to send twice in February but only did once, then skipped March. How can he be one month behind at the end of this month? He will be three months behind. What we want, Cabinet Secretary, is Ksh21 billion before the end of this month if not today, and the rest to be cleared by the end of next month. Otherwise, this is just going to be in circles. This is another promise, and we are not going to achieve anything. It is the Members of Parliament who are being hog-washed in the constituencies. Let the Cabinet Secretary give us a clear roadmap. What he has given us is speculation. Thank you."
