    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I will not take much time since I think I have been talking a lot. However, I want to say that I rise to support and I only want to urge the Treasury from the Floor of this House that Members will have a lot of time in their hands. We understand the challenges that the Government is having with the new expanded devolved structures. This country has been recording in the last ten years economic development or growth figures on the upward trend because of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). So, I want to plead with the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the National Treasury to follow the law and send money. You know, Members are going to be challenged in January when kids are going back to school and the bursaries have been dwindling. Hon. Speaker, these Members will be judged harshly because the little monies which they may have gotten is from the other Parliament. So, this Parliament has not been given any CDF money as per their right and it is their right. So, I want to urge Treasury to do the right thing. I support. Thank you."
