    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I stand to apprise the House on the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). Specifically, it is to apprise the House on the Kshs25 billion which is available to constituencies in this Financial Year 2016/2017. The National Treasury has disbursed Kshs15 billion to the National Government Constituencies Development Fund Board (NG-CDFB). The Board, to date, has reviewed and approved project proposals for 172 constituencies, that is as at 15th November 2016. For another 72 constituencies, the Board is in the process of reviewing their project proposals. That leaves us with 48 constituencies which are yet to submit their project proposals. I wish that such constituencies can bring their project proposals before the end of this financial year - the 48 constituencies. The National Government Constituencies Development Fund Board has disbursed 50 per cent to 42 constituencies. Those 42 constituencies are those which were very quick in bringing their project proposals and whose project proposals were approved by the Board two weeks ago. So, 50 per cent of the allocation, which is Kshs40,800,000, has been disbursed to those 42 constituencies. A total of 248 constituencies have each received amounts equivalent to their emergency allocation. That is the brief I want to give to the House. I do not know if the House has time. I am willing to read the names of those constituencies."
