"content": "Secondly, I want to plead with the House that we ought to be a bit sensitive to issues that affect our people. As I speak, I feel pain that we shall be moving to court tomorrow to stop the disbursement of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). That is because we believe the CDF is going to be disbursed based on wrong poverty indices, doctored indices and we think that the basis of stopping a debate is not the right way of doing things. You cannot use this House to gag the wishes of the representatives of the people, particularly if they are bringing out pertinent issues. We will be seeking the authority as we wait to appeal to the House to follow its own rules. You cannot submit a Motion, it passes the Legal Department of Parliament, it goes though the House Business Committee (HBC), it is debated for a few days then it is declared unconstitutional. In my view, something is fishy!"
