    "content": "We will do our mandate as Parliament and apportion funds to the ministries and the bodies which need to spend the money. This country is experiencing a lot of bottlenecks, especially when it comes to releasing funds to different projects and programmes. We passed the budget last year, but to date, most of the funds are lying in ministries because they have not been used. On 30th June, some ministries will have absorbed 50 per cent, 60 per cent or even less than 50 per cent. That is very unfair for the citizens of this country because we cannot move forward with that sluggish way of doing things. If you look at the NG-CDF, you will find that very few constituencies, if any, have received 60 per cent of the allotment and yet we are closing the year. We have less than 20 days to go, but that money has not been released for projects which were earmarked to have been done as early as September last year."
