Members of Parliament on Tuesday staged a walk-out over the State’s failure to release the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF).
The Members of Parliament, who are set to proceed on recess on Thursday, ended a Plenary session prematurely and broke into chants of “solidarity forever’ and ‘No CDF, No Parliament!’
“It is now six months down the line, the government is always supporting its Executive programs to the detriment of CDF. So, what we’re saying is that we have suspended all sittings and government businesses until CDF is expended to our schools.” Nyando MP Jared Okello stated.
“In January, new students are joining Form One, there are those who are continuing in high school, so, we’re saying they (government) must provide money now, not later,” he further stated.
