The delay in disbursement of the National Government Constituency Development Funds (NG-CDF) continues to stoke discontent, with MPs fearing backlash from their constituents.

Learning for thousands of needy students across the country is now in jeopardy due to failure by the government to release Sh63 billion NG-CDF funds - 75 per cent of the quarterly allocation - to the 290 constituencies for the current financial year.
