    "content": " Hon. Speaker, let me take this opportunity to thank the NG-CDF Committee for the good work. One thing I would like the Committee to follow up with the Board is that some of the constituencies including Gichugu Constituency were on the verge of giving bursary funds just before the COVID-19 came up. That money is already reserved in the account for issuance of the bursary funds. It is also not very clear when the schools will reopen. There is a practice by the Board that they cannot release money if you have more than Kshs10 million in the account. It will be very dangerous to release that money to go and do other projects when we are not sure exactly when the schools will reopen. From experience, I am expecting that once the schools reopen, those cheques will be released. So, I plead with the Committee to talk to the Board to release more money for development for the constituencies that had already reserved money for bursary before the COVID-19 pandemic erupted. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to support."
