If our revenue rises, automatically NG-CDF grows with its growth. We have ensured that the projected national Government share of revenue is Kshs1.3trillion, 2.5 per cent of that is what we have taken in accordance with the statutes and the law that created NG-CDF to ensure that we are in line with the law.

• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: The other fund that was reduced was the National Government Affirmative Action Fund which had a proposal to be reduced by Kshs2billion to Kshs600million.

We have rationalised this to ensure that our cuts average about 15 to 20 per cent on recurrent expenditure items. It is important to mention that some of the things that relate to Members of Parliament that we passed in April ... view

• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, secondly, it is important to appreciate that the Members of the BAC dedicated a lot of their time yesterday and we truly appreciate that. We finished writing this Report some minutes to midnight last night. We had not had dinner and, therefore, a few of our colleagues had stepped out before signing it for adoption. However, the same Members of the Committee are in the House.
