As the National Assembly resumes on Tuesday, one of its first agenda is an amendment of the Constitution to entrench the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) into the country’s supreme law.
This comes just a month to the much-awaited judgment at the High Court, which will decide the fate of the CDF. The High Court had already termed the Fund illegal and ordered it scrapped. The MPs have come up with the Bill as a kind of back-pocket insurance to the kitty that allows them to initiate and implement projects in their respective constituencies.
