National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has attributed the delay in disbursing the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NGCDF) and the Affirmative Action Fund to heavy financial obligations in the year's first quarter.
In a statement to the National Assembly, Mbadi said the Treasury had released Sh7 billion for the CDF and Sh1.1 billion for the Affirmative Action Fund as of yesterday.
However, MPs expressed skepticism, arguing that at least Sh21 billion should have been disbursed.
Mbadi urged MPs to be patient, promising to release another Sh7 billion by April 29, but cautioned against making commitments without available funds. "I would have liked to disburse Sh21 billion, but there's significant pressure.
