• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Everywhere you go in this country, there is a success story about development by the NG-CDF, be it construction of classrooms, renovation of existing infrastructure, construction of houses for security officers and many other things. However, barely three months before the end of the Financial Year 2018/2019, disbursement to the constituencies stands at 25 per cent. This is very painful. I think there is a deliberate move by the National Treasury to sabotage disbursement of funds to the constituencies. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: The National Treasury is quick to disburse funds to ministries and agencies that do not even spend the money and are returned to the Exchequer at the end of the financial year. The NG-CDF allocation to the 290 constituencies is barely above Kshs30 billion. I do not know why the Treasury is holding onto the funds. It is painful. There are many challenges and pending developments in our constituencies. It is baffling that the funds have not been disbursed on time. I was in my constituency over the weekend and I realised that almost all secondary school going students, save ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: My constituency is in a very harsh region. It is one of the hardest hit constituencies when it comes to drought. In this dry season, and considering the fact that our people are pastoralists and depend on livestock in order to educate their children, you can imagine the magnitude of the problem when there is no market for the livestock. They depend on the NG-CDF. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: With regard to teacher training colleges, I have encouraged and managed to enroll 47 students from my constituency, but none of their families can afford fees. If the NG-CDF is not disbursed in the next week, the 47 students will be out of class. This is a very painful phenomenon. We have a problem of extreme shortage of teachers in northern Kenya and we want to bridge the gap by encouraging our children to join teachers training colleges. If we cannot provide them with bursaries, they will become disappointed. Then it will be a tall order to send them back ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: It is time the NG-CDFC takes the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury to task. I do not see the reason why they have waited this long, until three months to the end of the financial year. We are running up and down. Parents in the constituencies know the Member of Parliament as the person who holds the funds. They do not have information about the fund managers or the National Treasury. To them, the person who is supposed to give the funds is the Member of Parliament. We get endless calls from desperate parents whose daughters and sons are ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has been in acting capacity for all this period because the National Treasury is doing this for blackmail. If you are in acting capacity, you cannot make proper decisions or ask the National Treasury to give you money. They are the people who are supposed to extend his contract. It is high time the Chair of the NG-CDF Committee took this matter seriously. Also, it is high time this House took the disbursement of funds seriously. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: As Members, we cannot sit here while the only successful funding mechanism in this country is being taken lightly. I also want to support the proposed amendments by Hon. Millie Odhiambo. They should have been brought to the House a long time ago.
