Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has issued the way forward after he was put to task to address matters pertaining to the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) following outrage from Members of Parliament over delays.
Mbadi appeared before the National Assembly on Wednesday, April 16 after he was summoned a day earlier, with lawmakers threatening stern action if he failed to honour the invite.
Mbadi was pressed to honour his earlier promise to release NG-CDF funds before Parliament went on recess as lawmakers lamented that the fate of thousands of needy students was in limbo ahead of school reopening.
In response, the finance minister confirmed that the treasury had released Ksh7 billion on Wednesday, as he committed to disburse a further Ksh7 billion before the end of April 2025 to slash the arrears.
