    "content": "framework makes a case as has been proposed by my colleagues so that we increase this fund to even 5 per cent, if not more. As a Committee, we are going to put it as a proposal and when it comes to this House, we request Members to support it. Also, because it would have implications on public spending, we will need to persuade other relevant arms of Government so that the proposal to increase the CDF allocation to at least 5 per cent can go through. The impact is there and there is no question about it. Of course, you quite cannot exclude there being cases where we have had reports in the Committee on misuse of CDF. But compared to how public funds generally are utilized in Kenya, I think the cases of misuse of CDF are few. The success rate of CDF even by the worst critics of CDF still stands at about 85 per cent which for public funds is really admirable and commendable. With those remarks I support."
