    "content": "On the criteria for disbursement of funds to constituencies, due to piecemeal release of funds, the Board has been facing challenges in meeting the constituency financial demands. In this regard, the following disbursement criteria have been adopted: First, priority is to constituency requisitions with respect to past financial years. Second, priority is to constituencies whose proposals have been approved and therefore qualify for funds for Financial Year 2017/2018. Out of the funds received from the National Treasury, Kshs14,000,000,000 has been disbursed to the constituencies and the secretariat as follows: (a) Kshs3,945,166,470 has been disbursed to the constituencies with respect to their outstanding balances for previous financial years. (b) Two hundred and sixteen constituencies have received 50 per cent, that means Kshs5 million and Kshs37 million, a total of Kshs43 million. During the financial year 2017/2018 an allocation amounting to Kshs9,372,962,461 has been made. (c) Seven Constituencies have received statutory allocation of their Financial Year 2017/2018 allocation amounting to Kshs164,301,541. (d) Sixty seven constituencies have received Kshs5.5 million each out of their Financial Year 2017/2018 allocation amounting to Kshs368,500,000 (e) Kshs132,220,000 has been set aside for the NG-CDF Board secretariat for administrative purposes. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
