    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.43, I wish to make a general Statement regarding the delayed disbursements of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NGCDF) Bearing in mind the uncertainty of the arrears of Kshs4,976,750,005 still outstanding from the National Treasury under the NGCDF, it is clear that the Board is not in a position to release full disbursements to all the 290 constituencies for the 2015/2016 Financial Year. Further, the Board has been using the current disbursements to clear arrears in the previous financial years hence there is a risk of funding for the 2016/2017 Financial Year to be used to pay the outstanding Kshs4,976,750,005 which the National Treasury is still holding. The National Treasury should also include the sum of Kshs10 billion to cater for the deficit created by the court ruling."
