    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the current management of CDF has a provision of 3 per cent of the total allocation to be spent on administration. Currently, that money works out to approximately Kshs80,000 for most constituencies. It is barely enough to pay the staff who are currently employed and the rent for the office. Now that you have engaged an account manager, there will be additional costs because of the need to maintain parallel books of accounts. Given the need to maintain other activities, there will be additional costs for stationary, printing and other things. Now, without an increase on the 3 per cent administration cost, there are questions on who will bear the additional costs which will be incurred because of the engagement of the accounting managers. That is a matter that has not been reflected even in the proposed legislation. So, could the Minister explain whether the new accounting managers will have an additional vote to assist them to run the offices, in addition to whatever is already happening at the CDF offices?"
