Majority Leader Aden Duale (Garissa Township MP) has said MPs pushing Jubilee administration to pay teachers will need to vote for the constituency development fund to be slashed to get money to pay teachers currently on strike.

Addressing a press conference on the sidelines of a parliamentary retreat in Mombasa, the Majority Leader said the only way the government can raise money is if MPs agree to part with a portion of the Sh33 billion CDF, which has already been declared illegal by the High Court.
