    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the PNU, ODM(K) and ODM are now in bed together. It is very clear that they are taking us nowhere, in as far as the issue of the Constitution is concerned. That is one ugly part of the Budget. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the second ugly part is the issue of poverty. The only money which seems to have an impact in our constituencies is that from the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). We expected an increase of the allocation to the CDF. At the constituency level, an hon. Member is like the Government. The poverty levels where I come from are unbelievable. It is unfortunate that some of the people we have in Government do not come from areas where there is poverty. During the last Parliament, the Minister for Finance said that he did not see the importance of bursaries. I expected to hear that the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) has been increased by 10 per cent. When the Minister for Finance goes the other way round to say that he wants to tax allowances of hon. Members--- An hon. Member at the constituency is in charge of funerals, hospital bills, church Harambees and bursaries from his pocket because the money for bursary is not enough. He is the man who attends all Harambees ."
