"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to get clarification from the Cabinet Secretary on the following: One, in a constituency with three, four, five six, and seven wards, how much will it be when you break down the Ksh7 billion? We need to know the exact breakdown of the money for justification. Secondly, from the analysis of the Cabinet Secretary, he has said that in January and February, there are a lot of loans to be serviced. Why not exhaust all the money for the NG- CDF in the first quarter of the financial year so that we do not get to those months where there are issues of loans in the country? God willing, remain the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning but release all the money within the first quarter of the financial year so that Members of Parliament are not lynched by children of Kenya for non- release of funds, especially for bursaries. Finally, I can also confirm that I sit in the Public Debt and Privatization Committee. The IMF and World Bank report showed that out of 34 conditions, the Kenyan Government met 22. This translates to 64.5 per cent. This means we are in good books. The Cabinet Secretary should be able to finance the NG-CDF once and for all."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As one Member said, we listened to the Cabinet Secretary courtesy of him having been our colleague and we accorded him that respect. In February, the Cabinet Secretary was categorical that he was going to send two tranches of Ksh7 billion. From that month, it would be Ksh7 billion monthly up to the time he completes sending the amount for this financial year. He has now said that in February, he sent Ksh7 billion, and today he has sent another Ksh7 billion that is yet to get to the NG-CDF Board. So, we cannot count it. He is saying that after sending another Ksh7 billion at the end of this month, he will be behind by one month. Which calculation is he using? We are in April. He was supposed to send twice in February but only did once, then skipped March. How can he be one month behind at the end of this month? He will be three months behind. What we want, Cabinet Secretary, is Ksh21 billion before the end of this month if not today, and the rest to be cleared by the end of next month. Otherwise, this is just going to be in circles. This is another promise, and we are not going to achieve anything. It is the Members of Parliament who are being hog-washed in the constituencies. Let the Cabinet Secretary give us a clear roadmap. What he has given us is speculation. Thank you."

Cabinet Secretary, you have said the passing of the Bills has unlocked external funding. In another week or two, you will have enough resources. I want to propose that you clear with NG-CDF. Our problem is not only with bursaries. In my constituency and many of these Members' constituencies, we still have our Grade 9 students learning under trees. I do not have enough classrooms. We need money to construct those classrooms and do other developmental projects. Let us have the money before the end of this financial year. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

"content": " Hon. Speaker, I understand that the collection of revenue in the country itself is a very tricky thing. Any Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning will always be on a serious balancing act. There are too many competing priorities that essentially everybody is asking for something. The Cabinet Secretary is in a very difficult situation. Can you give us an undertaking that you will have another Ksh7 billion, at least, before the end of next week in our accounts? Then, progressively see how you can give us an undertaking on the rest. When you have a situation where there is insufficient revenue collection, since this is the revenue collected in the country… We understand that the Finance Bill, 2024 was shot down. That was the biggest mistake this country made, and revenue generation itself is not an easy thing."
