Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the parliamentary Committee on CDF for approving the names. They have approved the 10 out of the 12 names that I submitted. I have had challenges when I request names from institutions. From one institution, I got four letters giving me different names. There are other institutions where I got two letters each submitting different names. I want the Clerk to look at the two letters.

With regard to the two names that have been rejected, I will move with speed to see that we have a replacement. I am hopeful that in two weeks time, we will have the two names approved by the Committee. I will move with speed to gazette the names that have been approved by the House so that the new Board receives project proposals which I will expect Members of Parliament to submit as soon as possible. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will also expect the new Board to start the process of recruiting the new Chief Executive Officer. As ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Kshs10.6 billion is supposed to have been released by now. Unfortunately, we have not received any cent. However, we are hopeful that with the establishment of the Board, we will get that particular money. I will request the hon. Members as they go on recess, they move with speed to ensure that we have project proposals, so that as we get this money, we will be able to release it to the constituencies. There is a balance of Kshs3.6 billion which I have not included in the allocation. The reason is that I have been advised ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are two important issues that I want to raise; one of them is the teachers issue. I call upon the parties concerned to resolve this issue as soon as possible. The Vision 2030 advocates for quality education. We cannot have quality education unless you have adequate teachers to make sure that we move forward.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), I have had opportunity of moving around to various constituencies. As at now, we propose to make new proposals. I would advise Members to make sure that they try as much as possible to complete the projects that they had proposed last financial year. I have visited some constituencies and you find that the Committee that deals with the CDF at the constituency level distributes this money very thinly. You find a school has been given Kshs150,000 to build a classroom, another school has been given Ksh50,000 to build a ...
