That MPs will not give up on reviving the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) is clear from the publication early this month of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill 2025.
The Bill seeks to constitutionalise the National Government Constituencies Development Fund, the Senate Oversight Fund and the Affirmative Action Fund.
I believe the latter two were included to earn support of women MPs and Senators in the amendment journey as passage of the Bill requires the support of two thirds of the members of each House.
This proposed amendment follows a beaten path by the National Assembly which has repeatedly lost the CDF battles in court and proceeded to revive the Fund in different formats each time the courts declare it unconstitutional.
