    "content": "Hon. Speaker, you will appreciate that we are nearly at 70 per cent inside the current financial year and looking at the disbursements of Kshs6.4 billion against a total of Kshs33 billion, we are talking of nearly 80 per cent of the money that is supposed to be with the NG- CDF Board still being with the National Treasury. We are almost approaching the end of the financial year. There is no much time left for absorption of these funds. The pressure and the demand for this money is enormous. So, given the enormity of the matter, the Leader of the Majority Party, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and I went to the National Treasury on Thursday and the Cabinet Secretary said he has so far disbursed Kshs10 billion. When we went back to check with the Board, they said it is Kshs10 billion with the arrears of previous years, including the 2017/2018 Financial Year."
