    "content": "The bone of contention – and I want hon. Members to hear me - is as a result of two points. One, there are those who argue that we must use the 1999 Household Survey conducted by the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 in 1997. Secondly, there are those who argue that we must use the current data of 2005. The debate here and the bone of contention is about a report prepared by the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 which was tabled on the Floor of this House and until today--- It was tabled on the Floor of this House and the Mover of this Motion has acceded to that fact; that it was tabled. Until today, nobody in this House or outside has challenged that report. The Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Act of 2002 is very clear: 75 per cent of the amount is disbursed equally across all constituencies while 25 per cent is based on a poverty index statistics provided by the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030. We have a Parliamentary Committee on CDF in this House and the procedure and the law is very clear. That 75 per cent is given across the board while 25 per cent is given based on the poverty index. The report is again sanctioned by the Parliamentary Committee for the Minister to table. In my opinion, until yesterday, when he tabled it, it went through the Committee on CDF."
