    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I want clarification from the Chair of the NG-CDF and he should listen. My Committee, the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning, was responsible for allocating the Kshs41.7 billion. In our estimation, normally the NG-CDF Board uses around 4 per cent for administration, which is yet to be approved. If we apply 4 per cent of the higher figure of Kshs41.7 billion, it will mean that the Board, without an increase in their expenses, will get more money compared to the last financial year. Therefore, when we discussed the matter, we estimated that each constituency will get at least Kshs138 million and not Kshs136 million, which he recommends. We want to know what the Board has submitted as allocation for administration. Is it 4 per cent or have they raised it? If they have raised the percentage, it will not augur well because it will be a percentage higher than Kshs41.7 billon as compared to the Kshs33 billion in the last financial year. Let the Chair clarify the amount the Board is proposing to use. Is it 5 per cent or 4 per cent that it has been using?"
