Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Mumias East MP Peter Salasya has said Kenyans need the CDF first before rolling out the Hustler Fund.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Tuesday, the legislator said that learners are unable to proceed with their education due lack of finances.<\/p>\n

“Hustlers must go to school. Many undergraduates in universities and colleges are unable to write their exams due to fees balances,” he said.<\/p>\n

Many children from humble families are at home, then you want to bring Hustler Fund yet they can\u2019t go to school. We want CDF before we talk about the Hustler Funds.”<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court declared the Constituency Development Fund illegal and unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

Bringing to the end a nine-year court battle between the MPs and civil society groups.<\/p>\n

In its verdict the apex court ruled that the law allowing MPs to manage funds offends division of revenue and public finance law.<\/p>\n

\u201cA declaration is hereby made that the CDF Act, 2013 is unconstitutional. We agree with the reasoning adopted by the High Court to the effect that the Act violates the principle of separation of powers,” the court ruled.<\/p>\n

Salasya’s sentiments comes after the National Assembly resolved to set up a joint committee with the Senate to lead the Constitutional amendment process on the CDF.<\/p>\n

The 20-member team is tasked with collecting views from members and report back to the House after 90 days.<\/p>\n

“Report to the Houses of Parliament within 90 days to enable the speakers to make a decision and give direction on whether or not the legislative proposal is to be published into a Bill or not to be proceeded with,” read a statement tabled.<\/p>\n
