    "content": "The two issues have been a matter of great concern to the Committee and many Members of this House. In our last two meetings, the Committee deliberated on the two matters in consultation with the NG-CDF Board and the Chief Executive Officer. The update on the status of the disbursement of funds during this financial year is arising from the brief by the Acting CEO on 29th November 2018. Members noted the following: The National Treasury had only released Kshs6 billion for this financial year; as of today 5th December, only 170 constituencies had submitted their proposals for the projects to be funded; on 7th December, on Friday and Saturday, the board will convene to allocate and distribute funds to the constituencies that will have complied with project proposals. On the resolution of incomplete projects, Hon. Members will recall the directive that you should complete the ongoing projects before embarking on new ones. According to the board’s report on the incomplete projects sent to the Committee before December, Members noted that the outstanding balances required for completion of those projects countrywide was totaling to Kshs7,707, 881. After deliberations, the Committee resolved to allocate funds to those stalled projects but spread the allocation within a period of three years on the remaining term of the 12th Parliament. That resolution would also be communicated to the NG-CDF managers who are bothering many Members here and the same would be recorded in their minutes."
