Speaker, the matter that is before us, which has been presented by the Chair of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund, is very grave. I think it is a matter that this House, in one way or another, needs to find a way of dealing with. When we create a fund, and this is provided for in the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, the money allocated should remain there until it is fully utilised. That is the law. First of all, I would like the Chair to address himself on how money that dates back to 2011, or any other previous years, as he has just mentioned, is not in the fund."}
