    "content": "Thank you. You know the law does not give us an opportunity to follow what the Chairman has said, or what the CDF Chairman has said; the law is very clear that it is 2.5% of every budget. In effect, if we allow this to happen, it will mean that we have cut the budget of some constituencies in this financial year. There is no other way you can explain it. I will plead with the Chair that we have the funds which are meant for CDF for this financial year as they should be. We are not asking for extra money; what we are saying is that the money we are asking for has been budgeted for. We have projects which are incomplete; we have bursaries to give this year. We have even given to students half of this. I am shocked that we can reach the stage of saying that it can be carried forward when the law is very clear - it will never be carried forward."
