MPs aim to entrench CDF in law and up the allocation to 5 per cent
In an effort to keep the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), MPs have introduced two bills to amend the Constitution, creating a new front in the conflict with civil society that prompted the Supreme Court to rule the fund unconstitutional.
The two Bills seek to entrench the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF), where constituencies will be entitled to at least five per cent of the total annual revenue due to the national government.
Currently, the treasury allocates 2.5 per cent of national revenue to NG-CDF amounting to KSh. 44.3 billion in the current financial year. If enacted, the kitty could double to KSh. 88 billion annually.

The pipeline whose cost is estimated at KSh. 132 billion is part of a Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Natural Gas Transportation that former President Uhuru Kenyatta signed with Tanzania’s president, Samia Suluhu in May last year.
