    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday, hon. Ethuro sought a Ministerial Statement on the status of the CDF. I just wish to say the following. The Printed Estimates were of Kshs21,763,000,000. The half year allocation as at December should be Kshs10,881,500,000. We have made Exchequer releases as follows. On 14th August, we released Kshs7 million, which was the amount that the Members had requested and had been approved by the Board. This amount has been exhausted. Yesterday, 21st November, I released another Kshs1.5 billion again to take care of all the requests that the Members have made. I wish to confirm the gentleman’s agreement that we had and we will try to release even more than the amounts required as per the law, namely, the quarterly amounts, to enable the Members to complete all the projects that they have started. It is just because of the cash-flow constraints that we are releasing what meets the actual applications. So, the moment this Kshs1.5 billion is over, we are going to release another one, so that we keep pace with the requests."
