His fund manager has done very well and I want to commend him. Therefore, when these constituencies were split the liabilities and assets…You know the original constituency was supposed to take over the assets and any money left so, it could be shared among the projects falling in other constituencies. This did not go smoothly according to what we got during our interaction with the fund managers.

Therefore, we have recommended that the board provides a status report to the National Assembly on transfer of assets and liabilities among all constituencies, following the delimitation of constituency boundaries which resulted into creation of 290 constituencies.

Another cross-cutting issue is inadequate support from the national Government sub- county treasury in Nairobi City County.

The NG-CDF Board should fill existing vacancies of Fund Account Managers and regional coordinators and it should adhere to this deployment policy on the maximum number of years that Fund Account Managers should be engaged in a constituency.

In this one, our recommendation was that we should have an officer of the board in that county, in every county. This is because all the fund managers have somebody called a coordinator, but that coordinator is also a Fund a Account Manager in a constituency.
