    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are responsible for the accuracy of the statements we make in this House. That is in our Standing Orders. I am saying that the CDF allocation for this financial year by the Minister himself is Kshs21,763,000,000. As per now, unless he has sneaked something this morning, one hour ago when I communicated with the Board, he had only released Kshs10 billion. Surely, Kshs10 billion is less than 50 per cent of Kshs21.76 billion. So, even on account of the law, he is dead wrong. Secondly, you have picked even the more fundamental precept that he has made a commitment on the Floor of this House on a timeline that we agreed. We agreed that given this is an election year, by 30th September, he releases all the money. He has not released the money. He is still preparing for it and he still wants to buy time to tomorrow afternoon when he might do another disappearing act. This House should not act in vain. I am here to prevent Ministers from behaving badly."
