    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I also want to say that hon. Members deserve this break. I want to thank hon. Members in the manner in which we have dedicated ourselves in the last couple of years, working for this country. I want to thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for releasing the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) monies. I only want to ask the secretariat to hasten the release of those monies so that hon. Members can utilize them when we are at home. I also want to encourage the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to help Members of Parliament because down there, the civil servants in the Ministries of Public Works and Roads are out to ensure that Members of Parliament do not properly spend CDF monies. Therefore, I want to propose to hon. Members that in the event that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance does not bring proper amendment to ensure ease of work for Members of Parliament, we will and we should bring an amendment through the Finance Bill to make the CDF an agent of the Ministry of Roads and Ministry of Works so that we can get rid of all these civil servants who are impeding our work at the constituency."
