    "content": "In conclusion, as a Committee we have been having a problem with the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury, the one in charge of our National Government Development Constituencies Fund Board. The problem is arising because we require a fully constituted National Government Development Constituencies Fund Board to execute its mandate, but it has not happened. I have personally intervened and talked to the Cabinet Secretary about it. We have even called him to the Committee and every time he has promised to constitute the board, but he does not. If Members would testify what they have been going through, it is difficult to raise a quorum in the NG-CDF Board because the members are not enough. Anytime you want to raise a matter getting a quorum becomes difficult. The four members who are there are seconded from the ministries. In order to have the board constituted, the Cabinet Secretary needs to act. I have brought this matter to this House so that it can be treated as urgent. Members will recall that it is over Kshs35 billion that goes to the NG-CDF. So, it is a serious matter and the Government must ensure that it is administered efficiently. So, I take it that we will get the attention that we deserve. Thank you."
