From Friday next week, Members of Parliament (MPs) will access the Sh44.8 billion National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) kitty after the Treasury bowed to pressure and agreed to release the monies. In September last year, lawmakers were dealt a blow after former Treasury Cabinet Secretary, Ukur Yattani, refused to release CDF monies, citing a court order.
The Supreme Court then declared the CDF Act 2013 illegal, noting that it offends division of functions between national and county governments.
