MPs are angry at the Treasury for allocating each constituency only Sh81.2 million in Constituency Development Fund for the 2016/2017 financial year.

The MPs yesterday claimed that the  money, which was allocated in line with a court ruling that decreed CDF was only entitled to Sh25 billion, was ‘too little’ to implement projects in the constituencies.
