    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. While I fully support this Motion, will I be in order just before we vote to seek a clarification from the Chairman of the Constituencies Development Fund Committee and my Chairman in the Budget and Appropriations Committee as to why the figure for NGCDF would be stuck? Even with the additional Kshs1 billion, we will only be maintaining the level of the financial year ending 30th June 2016, while we know that the Budget graduates every year. The Budget has increased so much the next financial year. All Votes have graduated by that percentage of increase of the Budget. Is there any good reason why NGCDF for the 2016/2017 Financial Year should not be higher than the year ending 2015/2016? On the basis of that clarification, will I be in order to propose a further amendment to this amendment that would increase the allocation to NGCDF by a further Kshs2 billion so that allocation to the Fund is graduated in a similar manner as other Votes? I will stand guided by the Chairman of the NGCDF Committee. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
