    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Some of us are also worried because of the explanation given. Although we know English, we are not Englishmen. My worry is when we talk about re-allocating and reduction at the same time. My other worry is that the money we are talking about was allocated to the constituencies before the creation of the new constituencies. We are talking about money which has already been committed to projects. When we are told that we will be rolling out this money in the next financial year, it means that we will only be rolling out money which is already committed to projects. The new constituencies also want to function. I think the Chairman of the Constituencies Development Fund agreed with the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee under coercion. He needs to explain to us whether he was in this meeting as the Chair of the CDF or as a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. He should tell us that so that we can also understand. We need to discuss this in totality. We will not rush it. We are not voting machines that are used just to pass things. We are not saying that we are denying anybody any money. We are just saying that the money we are talking about goes to Kenyans. The amount of money that we are talking about right now also goes to Kenyans. Who are these Kenyans we want to allocate some funds and who are these Kenyans we want to deny the CDF funds?"
