Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that clarification. So, I want to give the directive here that no staff will be allowed to go on leave from 1st January up to 4th March to make sure that this money is used. I also want to clarify one issue here. We have had so many cases of competitors going to court to block the CDF from operation in some constituencies. I know of some three constituents where they have gone to court to block the use of CDF. I want to clarify that they do not have the authority ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the decision was taken on the basis of past experiences. We experienced quite a number of problems previously. In the process, the CDF lost some funds. Members of the DCFC are here.

Thereafter, none of us will be a Member of Parliament. However, we are allowing the CDFCs to continue serving until new MPs are elected. Since we have no financial controller, we ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we agreed with the DCFC and the Minister for Finance that this money must be released by mid next month. I am hopeful that the Minister will keep his word, so that we have the money by the middle of next month, but the engagement is on.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we agreed on a time table. There is cash flow. It is not only CDF. There are other priorities. We agreed with the Minister that by 15th next month, all the funds of CDF should have been released. If you have made all your returns, by end of next month, you will have got all the money. If all the money has gone to the projects, they will continue under the CfC.
