This was joined in by several of you seeking to understand the fate and status of disbursement of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), and to some extent, the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF). However, the front burner is NG-CDF."

"content": "Hon. Members, the Cabinet Secretary is a former distinguished Member of this House. He was Leader of the Minority Party and Chairperson of several important committees, including the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). He is also a distinguished economist. You may recall that sometime in December last year before our break, he came to Hon. Speaker’s Office and gave me a breakdown on how he would disburse NG-CDF. I lauded him for that. When we had our Mid-Term Retreat in Naivasha, we also invited him. He graciously came and engaged all of you on this very important issue. The Cabinet Secretary is here today. I will give the House 30 minutes to deal with this issue. Cabinet Secretary, you are here today to give us a full candid statement on the status of disbursement of those funds, and how they will be disbursed to constituencies in future. Hon. Members, these are not your funds. They belong to Kenyans. When the funds get to the constituencies, they serve Kenyans. This is one of the most revolutionary devolved functions that we have ever had in our country. I encourage Members to listen to the Cabinet Secretary's Statement in absolute silence. Once he finishes, I will allow the Member who raised the point of order the first bite of the cherry and then allow a few other Members to seek clarifications or ask questions. Once we finish and we are satisfied, we will let the Cabinet Secretary go back to his office. Welcome, Cabinet Secretary. You can now take the podium."

You can use different terminologies such as “decentralised”, but the fact is that money goes to the grassroots level. I remain committed to devolution of resources and in support of the NG-CDF and the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF)."
