I believe that is why you intervened. Honestly, the Minister has tried to avoid answering questions from every hon. Member who has raised a supplementary question. If you look at Part (a) of my Question - although it was doctored and I do not know how it happened - I had asked how much the total development budget was. With your indulgence, I was asking that so that we can be told whether it was Kshs20 billion. I know about the budget for the Ministry. If Kshs10 billion could be removed from the Ministry’s budget, which is the amount we get in the CDF, each constituency would get about Kshs60 million. That can do a lot in the constituencies. When the Minister says that she is not aware or not that will change, I would like to tell her that the CDF framework was adopted because it was an effective way of reaching the grassroots, which she has talked about. In view of that, I would like to say that I am not satisfied and leave that matter at this point in time."}
