Many are not implementable and that is why we need the board to give you a list of those projects specifically to every constituency before you can start considering them. Let me table the list.

Hon. Speaker, I rise to issue a Statement on the proposed budget ceiling for each constituency for the 2018/2019 Financial Year. During the Financial Year 2018/2019, the National Treasury allocated Kshs35,758,596,000 to the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). The NG-CDF Board/Secretariat has computed the proposed budget ceiling for each constituency for the 2018/2019 Financial Year as follows; i. The total allocation for the 2018/2019 is Kshs35,758,596,000. ii. The allocation to the Board of Kshs1,547,929,800. So, the approved allocation for the Board is 4.3 per cent of the total amount.

This is subject to Section 23(1) which requires that not more than 5 per cent of the total allocation to the Fund in the financial year may be used for the purpose of running the board. So, the total allocation to the constituencies is Kshs34,210,666,200. The emergency reservation stands at Kshs1,787,929,800. This is subject to Section 8(1), which provides that a portion of the Fund equivalent to 5 per cent, referred to as emergency reserve, shall remain unallocated and shall be available for emergencies.
