    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I would not have waited to distribute the CDF until I get the Kshs1.6 billion, obviously, you would roast me here. You would be asking where the Kshs11.6 billion is. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, coming to the poverty index, the poverty figures were calculated in the year 2006. Mr. Oparanya was not in the Ministry of Planning and National Development then. When these figures were released sometime last year, I was not the Minister. They were released based on district poverty index. Obviously, we require the poverty index figures at constituency level, it was important that we get a rough estimate of the constituency index. This was done and there were a lot of variances. I took it upon myself to go and explain it to the committee which Mr. Ethuro chairs.I explained to him that if we adopted these 2008 figures--- The Act says you use the poverty index but it does not say which one. I, therefore, said that because there are variances and Members of Parliament had already submitted proposals, it would be unfair for someone who has submitted a proposal of Kshs50 million to get Kshs40 million."
