I wish to thank the Members who have unanimously and comprehensively contributed and supported the Report. I concur with most or all the sentiments that were captured during the deliberations of the entire afternoon of yesterday. As we agree with the Report, I wanted to bring to the notice of Members some issues that members of the public have been noticing. That after 15 years of NG-CDF, there are many constituencies that have makeshift schools that appear in the media very often. It is a shame that you can have nearly 70 per cent of that money that we are ...

We have children who appear in the media very often stranded because they are looking for school fees yet Members have a minimum of Kshs20 million per constituency for bursaries. Those are bright and brilliant children that should be taken care of in their constituencies.

We also raised concerns that we have equal amounts, but there are loud murmurs that it should be equitable where you can have certain percentages as equal and then the rest using other factors. That will need an amendment. It is in the purview and powers of this House to do it. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

With regard to the issue of the 2.5 per cent, I wish to state that we are not receiving the 2.5 per cent as per the law. We should be getting a minimum of 2.5 per cent as per the current law. Members should increase the percentage to five per cent. The 2.5 per cent should come from the counties. In Meru County, we got Kshs900 million in the NG-CDF and the governor has Kshs9 billion yet if you go to every corner of the county, the money you see is from the NG- CDF. So, it is wise that ...

As I conclude, tomorrow we will be having the names of the proposed members of the NG-CDF Board in this House. When we support it, we will move forward and thereafter, this Committee will have an entity to coordinate matters with.

Finally, on the issue of the funds, by the end of the week, we will have another Kshs4 billion released from the National Treasury to the NG-CDF Board for the purposes of disbursement. So, in the next few days, Members should get a minimum of Kshs10 million in their accounts as we continue. Thereafter, the National Treasury has agreed to be sending Kshs2 billion a week until we exhaust this money. At the end of the month, we have agreed that there should be a minimum of 90 per cent into the NG-CDF Board account.
