SH1.883 TRILLIONThe CDF kitty is part of the Sh1.883 trillion that the national government intends to spend in the next financial year. Of the Sh41.7 billion CDF kitty, about Sh39 billion will be shared equally among the 290 constituencies, with the balance going towards the operations of the NG-CDF Board, which manages the fund. SH29 BILLIONHad the Treasury had its way, CDF would have seen its allocation reduced to Sh29 billion. The National Treasury must always be guided by the law when doing this. The disagreement over the NG-CDF cash was the reason the Budget committee delayed tabling its report on the estimates on Tuesday as required.
