Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka has accused Members of Parliament (MPs) of misusing the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF), shedding light on why lawmakers often staunchly defend it.
Speaking on Spice FM on Friday, January 17, the Senator alleged that the NG-CDF is being abused under the guise of assisting the poor. "Members of Parliament are receiving Sh250 million each for their education bursaries.
I completely disagree with my Party's claim that the Controller of Budget is fighting the government by questioning the allocation.
The money, supposedly meant for helping the poor, is being misused," he said.
