    "content": "I thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second. As the Leader of Majority Party has echoed, we have a lot of work pending, especially the Private Members’ Bills. In the House Business Committee, we said that we want to give them priority because the issue was even raised on the Floor of the House last week by Private Members. We need the recess to plan our work as it has been alluded to by Leader of Majority Party and I earlier on. The House is not happy with the way the Treasury is disbursing money from the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). It is already the end of October - I can see the Chairman is here. I thought we were magnanimous enough to let go the Finance Bill. Ever since CDF was occasioned, we have always got our CDF before we release the Finance Bill. However, we entrusted in your Committee--- I hope you do not betray that trust because, like I said earlier, CDF is the only working fund in this country. The rest are marred in controversies. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as you can see, the people who are supposed to be monitoring how the county funds are used, that is, the Members of County Assemblies--- I am saddened because even the ones of Nairobi from your party were busy in the afternoon committing criminal acts, which I thoroughly condemn."
