    "content": "Hon. Speaker, in the last Parliament, the Chairman of the Constituencies Development Fund was the Speaker of the Senate. Since he did so well during the last Parliament, he did not have time to campaign for votes, amongst the Members of the last Parliament who are in the Senate; the likes of hon. James Orengo and hon. Moses Wetangula. So, we will tell hon. Lessonet to go and get some induction from the Speaker of the Senate because the Constituency Development Committee is very critical. Hon. Speaker, as hon. Jakoyo Midiwo said, as a leader of this House, I realised that it was getting too late. I realised that we were approaching the end of October but the National Treasury had not released even the first tranche of the CDF money. So, after I engaged the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, Mr. Henry Rotich, by yesterday, the CDF Board then confirmed that they had received a total of Kshs8 billion in their account. What they have disbursed to 85 constituencies is Kshs7 million. They have since confirmed that they have done the paper work, and that they are waiting for their Chief Executive Officer, who came back yesterday evening.
