    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me clarify. I was trying to justify the point I was making. The point is that our NG-CDF which is supposed to be 2.5 per cent of the National revenue was reduced from Kshs42 billion to Kshs33 billion by the Committee chaired by friend. He is somebody I respect because he was the only Member who was elected unopposed. He should be proud of himself. Therefore, he should add the money that he was supposed to give to the NG-CDF. Once we approve the NG-CDF Board, their first job will be to seek a higher percentage to be allocated to the NG-CDF in the same way a higher percentage has been allocated to the counties, although the Constitution says a minimum of 15 per cent. They have now given them more than 20 per cent. Why can they not give four or five per cent to the NG-CDF? The second thing is on the arrears. These arrears are not what the constituencies owe the Government. They are arrears of money that was not released to the constituencies. They should be released to the NG-CDF Board, so that it can allocate them to the correct constituencies."
