    "content": "I ask the Chair of this Committee that we could borrow from what we did with the Government funds going to schools. It was very difficult for Government to send funds to schools through the ministry. Therefore, we went ahead to make a law stipulating that 50 per cent of the money will be disbursed in the first quarter, 30 per cent in the second and 20 per cent will be released in the final quarter. So, I share with the Chair that because we know the money may not be available on time, we could also go that way so that in the first quarter, 50 per cent of the funds are sent. Then around January, the second quarter is sent. When we need the funds most, 30 per cent is sent, and finally, 20 per cent is sent so that there is an orderly way on how funds are sent to the constituencies. If there is an orderly way, the Members of Parliament and even the NG-CDF committees will have a chance to plan. Currently, you do not know when you will get 10 per cent, 5 per cent or when you will get nothing. Planning, therefore, becomes difficult and you cannot be relied on as a leader in your constituency and your committee on the projects that you are undertaking."
