    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion on the appointment of Mr. Boniface Lokaale Korobe as a member of the CDF Board. I would like to give assurance to this House that the CDF will be there even after the county governments come into place. The CDF was established by an Act of Parliament. It can only be abolished by another Act of Parliament. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am also aware that the CDF Fund Committee is working on some amendments to bring the CDF Act in line with the new Constitution. I would like to ask them to provide for some place for a Member of Parliament. The Member of Parliament may not be involved in the implementation of projects but, at least, in the selection of projects, it is important that Members of Parliament are involved, so that after the projects are selected, they can be given to the governor for implementation. Secondly, I would like to assure this House that I have instructed the Treasury that they must remit the money due to the CDF on the due date. I will not accept that we have a shortfall in revenue collection. In my view, the CDF should get priority number one."
