As legislators embark on a spirited effort to entrench the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) in the constitution, a section of Nyeri residents have given mixed reactions in regard to the ongoing debate.
The fate of the NG-CDF kitty remains uncertain to date after a High Court ruling in 2023 declared the fund unconstitutional, citing concerns over the separation of powers.
However, since then MPs have put up a spirited fight to salvage the lucrative fund after drafting the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill No. 4 of 2025 which proposes to entrench the kitty into the Constitution.
On Monday the National Assembly began conducting public participation forums across the 290 constituencies of Kenyans on whether to scrap or entrench the fund in the Constitution.
