    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to thank the Members for their contributions. I have taken note of the issues the Members have highlighted. We will not be able to move amendments on them now, but I wish to note that the Members wish to have the CDF increased from 2.5 per cent to another rate. That may not happen today, but it is a debate that we can have another time. That is a weighty matter for this session. Article 114 of the Constitution provides that for any increase of the CDF and any other money Bill, for that matter, it has to have the consensus of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and also the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Finance. Essentially, that would be a money Bill and we do not want to go into those waters now. We just want to focus, just like the Members have mentioned, on the basics of the Bill. With those remarks, I beg to move."
