    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I wish to thank my good friend, the Leader of the Majority Party, for bringing up the matter. I want to inform the House that we have deliberated on these matters. The problem that we have had in the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) accounts is that there is a lot of segmentation. Each constituency is being presented on its own. We have had a meeting with the Auditor-General, the CDF Board and the responsible Ministry. We have agreed that we are going to consolidate them. Right now, hopefully, within the course of this week, we are going to table the Committee’s Report on the Financial Year 2013/2014, and one of our priorities is to embark on the CDF Account reports. Of course, they are many but the issues are not that detailed. That applies to the political parties whose reports have been presented here. We have discussed this matter before. I want to assure the House and the nation that as PAC, we are seized of the matter and we are going to look into it and bring a report here within the shortest time possible for both areas that the Leader of the Majority Party has mentioned. I thank you."
