Many Members are interested in the issue of NG-CDF. I am happy because during the First Supplementary Budget, we factored in Kshs13 billion which is being disbursed now.

I am also guided by the Leader of the Majority Party who has suggested that we have a close conversation with the Chair of the Constituencies Development Committee. We work together.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, very well. These amendments are occasioned by the transfer of funds from the National Treasury to the various ministries because of public participation. In the past, all the public participation money was domiciled in the National Treasury. Currently, if the public participation is to do with water, that money is transferred to the ministry dealing with water. If it is about infrastructure, that money is transferred to the ministry that deals with infrastructure.
