"content": "I am happy with the proposal that the minimum budget for each constituency should be put at Kshs100 million. It makes sense. We do not want to have a situation where the members of the public are looking upon the CDF to handle issues that relate to the national Government in the constituency, yet the funding keeps on being constrained by other needs. As I conclude, I am going to suggest that the CDF Act also be amended in due course because of instances where there are by-elections. Currently, the CDF Act is not very clear on what happens when there is a by-election. Does the current CDFC continue to be in office even where the Member of Parliament is new? A situation then crops up where a Member of Parliament works with a committee that was elected when he was not in office."
