    "content": "There is a provision for Kshs37.343 billion which is a combination of Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and the Women Affirmative Action Fund (WAAF). That was in the last financial year. In this year, it falls to Kshs36.635 billion. When we looked at the Budget Policy Statement (BPS), this combined allocation was Kshs38 billion but now there is a drop by Kshs2 billion to Ksh36 billion. In that combination it is difficult to tell which of those two is reducing. So, since we already know the standard amounts and they have been improving, the National Treasury and this Parliament should look at this area and make a definition. My perspective is, just like there is a clear section for the Equalisation Fund, there should also be a clear section for the affirmative action as provided for under Article 203(1)(h)."
