Members of the National Assembly on Tuesday staged a walkout to protest the delay in disbursement of over Sh53.3 billion National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) cash.

The lawmakers’ action paralysed the afternoon session, just two days before they go on break. The disgruntled MPs, chanting “no CDF, no recess”, walked out of the sitting that was being presided over by Deputy Speaker Gladys Shollei, scuttling a notice of motion for the House to go on recess for the December holiday. The long recess is set to start this Thursday and last until February next year.
