Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>MPs finally have their way on CDF after the Treasury agreed to release the Funds bringing to an end months of stalemate.<\/p>\n

A court ruling had outlawed the CDF Act 2013.<\/p>\n

Treasury Cabinet Secretary Prof. Njuguna Ndungu on Thursday wrote to the Speaker informing the House he had received a green light from the Attorney General to release the monies.<\/p>\n

Treasury will now be releasing Sh2 billion to Constituencies every week beginning Friday next week.<\/p>\n

The CS had sought the AG\u2019s opinion on the implication of the ruling that declared CDF unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

In his legal opinion to the Treasury, Attorney General Justin Muturi said the NG CDF technically remains in force until a contrary direction is made by a superior court.<\/p>\n

The ruling, he noted, does not affect the NG-CDF Act 2015 under which the Fund currently operates.<\/p>\n

\u201cTreasury confirms it will commence disbursement from Sh2 billion every week starting December 9,\u201d National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula said in his communication to the House on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
