Clive Gisairo","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you Hon. Speaker. I expected that we were going to have Statements, and so I rise on that point. Following what my Hon. Chairman of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund Committee presented, we have passed a Motion agreeing to the formation of Constituencies Development Fund Committees (CDFCs). The reality is that we are now in the last quarter of this financial year. While in Naivasha, I remember very well, the Cabinet Secretary promised that he was going to send Ksh7 billion twice in the month of February and then another Ksh7 billion on a monthly basis up to the end of the financial year. As we speak, the Board only received one Ksh7 billion last year and a second disbursement of Ksh7 billion in the month of February, whereas he had promised to send two payments of Ksh7 billion. Members here who represent their CDFCs are not able to give bursaries yet we are done with Term 1. University students are supposed to collect their exam cards subject to payment of fees, and some of them rely on bursaries from NG-CDF. We are being taken round in circles and the financial year is coming to an end. I have seen some CDFCs purporting to take photos that they are launching bursaries just to save themselves from angry students, but in reality, there is no money going to the universities or schools.

We are not going to allow this House to be taken on a wild goose chase. Can you guide this House on the way forward on the matter of disbursing the balance of the NG-CDF? Out of the Ksh54 billion, they have only remitted Ksh14 billion, and we only have three months to go.

Nabii Nabwera","speaker":null,"content":" Yes. Hon. Speaker. The issue raised by Hon. Gisairo is very grave. You may not be aware that up to now, we have some Grade 9 students who still do not have classrooms simply because CDFCs had budgeted to use the money that was to be disbursed this financial year to fill the gap that the Kenya Primary Education Equity in Learning Programme (KPEEL) from the Ministry of Education, was not able to fill. These students are learning outside under trees and in tents. The rains have come. In my constituency, on Sunday, the rains swept away a whole school. I do not have NG-CDF money which can be used for emergency purposes. It is unfair for the Cabinet Secretary, especially in a meeting that you chaired, to commit and purport that he would release money whereas in reality he knew very well he was not going to. We need your intervention on this matter so that we can save students in universities, colleges, and primary schools who do not have shelter. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."},{"id":1547236,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1547236/?format=json","text_counter":769,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
