    "content": "ensure that there is prudent use of money for the benefit of the Kenyan taxpayers. As we execute our responsibility in the Committee, we are very keen to ensure that every cent goes to the intended purpose. During our engagements as a Committee, we realised cross-cutting issues. There are several hurdles in the management of the fund, majorly late disbursement of funds. As mentioned earlier, this is the second quarter and funds have not been released. This has a lot of impact on and hampers a lot the performance of the fund. So we urge that this is speeded up and in the future let this fund be released just as other operational funds of the Government. There is also the issue of AIE which always comes late after release of funds; some take even a month and you fail to understand why. As a Committee, we have recommended that this is rectified. I do not want to take a lot of time but just to join the chair and other committee members in appreciating the support we got from the offices of the Speaker, NG-CDF Board, Auditor- General, National Treasury and the Members from Nairobi County. Lastly, we want to thank our secretariat and wish that moving forward, the same spirit be brought to bear while undertaking their responsibilities. With those few remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to second. Thank you."
