    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek clarification as the CDF Select Committee Chair. I want the Minister to recall that when he brought the Motion to approve the Board, he was requesting hon. Members to ensure that Kshs7.6 billion balance had to be requested. He is now admitting to the contrary that, only Kshs2.5 billion out of Kshs10.1 billion has been released for the current year ending 30th June, 2008. I would like him to confirm to this House the following:- This House expects the Minister to provide proof that the money has been released. That is June 24, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1325 because on 17th June, 2008, the Committee, the Ministry of of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 and the Ministry of Finance had a meeting, where a commitment was made by the Treasury and the Ministry responsible for planning to release the money. They were supposed to release Kshs2 billion yesterday, then Kshs3 billion on Wednesday and the balance by Friday. What the House and the country needs to know is how much money has been disbursed and when the remaining will be disbursed? That is what I would like the Minister to clarify bearing in mind that the law is very clear that the Treasury should be disbursing money to the CDF after every three months. It is now taking one year for the Treasury to disburse that money. Somebody has broken the law!"
