National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung'u has told off Members of Parliament over their push to release billions of shillings for the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF), citing a cash crunch that has crippled government operations.

Ndung'u, who appeared before the National Assembly Finance and National Planning Committee, said President William Ruto's administration had been stretched thin and blamed the lack of NG-CDF funds on reallocations to mitigate drought and flooding calamities.
