MPs insist CDF will exist 'at all costs' despite court ruling that it is unconstitutional

NAIROBI: MPs have vowed to go back to the High Court to seek an extension of the one-year deadline they were given to wind up the multimillion fund for each of the 290 constituencies. They said they will also want the Judiciary to "stay" the declaration that the Constituency Development Fund Act was unconstitutional.

In a meeting in Nairobi's Safari Park Friday, the MPs said the date with the High Court will allow them to have time to prosecute their case at the Court of Appeal, and also pursue a constitutional amendment to make sure CDF is entrenched in the Constitution. They have already filed their case at the Court of Appeal.
