CDF kitty should be freed from MPs

Members of Parliament take the oath of office at the National Assembly

MPs take the oath of office at the National Assembly on September 8, 2022. Over 50 per cent of the Constituency Development Fund just ended up in MPs' pockets. If returned, it should be freed from them.

CDF push • The clamour by MPs for the restoration of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) is understandable, says W.

If returned, it should be freed from them and their pseudo companies.” His contact is [email protected].
