    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The other thing is the issue of the secretariat now bringing in certain things that are not procedural and are illegal. When our fund account managers are summoned in some seminars and instructed to name four or five flagship projects, there is no such provision in the NG-CDF Act. All the projects are supposed to be submitted through a process. That process is very clear that there must be some participation. The secretariat keeps giving instructions that this time round they need projects of this kind or that we should exclude certain projects. It causes delays. There are also issues of reallocation. You may submit projects then the secretariat in one way or another takes you round and round for ages. That is a problem. The new board must look into it. The other thing that the new board must look into is the transfer of money. Right now, there is the issue of 100 per cent transition of students from primary to secondary school. When the Ministry of Education is asked at any moment why they are insisting on this yet there are no classes, all of them refer to NG-CDF. They say that the NG-CDF should come in. The NG-CDF is also very clear that no monies have been transferred to constituencies. The board has a lot of work cut out for it. It must look at how this thing must be moved forward. We are now two months away from the end of the financial year. That means that the remaining monies of over 80 per cent will be treated as arrears in the next financial year, if we are not careful. It is important that the board wakes up to this. I support the Motion."
