    "content": "First, I really want to thank the hon. Members for the suggestions they have given and these suggestions of disbursing the money to 290 constituencies is really the easiest option for us and for the Board. I wish also to note that the hon. Members who have spoken, most of them represent the old constituencies; the 210 Constituencies. There are equally other hon. Members like those of Nairobi County who wish their money to go to their independent 17 constituencies; the hon. Members from Nakuru County have made presentations to Constituencies Development Fund Committee that they want their money to go to their 11 constituencies, not their six. We shall be able to listen to all the views of the hon. Members and I can assure you that we shall use the shortest time possible to make sure that we get the money to your accounts. The first task, like I mentioned, I am very sure that the Government or the Executive or the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, did not properly inform the Leader of Majority Party that in the Supplementary Estimates there was Kshs.5.4 billion for CDF. I am sure the Leader of Majority Party would not have tabled that document if he knew Kshs.5.4 billion for CDF was being reversed. We are going to be unanimous in this House so that on Tuesday your actions will be the ones to guide us in terms of distributing that money. Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir."
