MPs, including ODM troops, have defied their party boss Raila Odinga’s call to disband the National Government Constituencies Development Fund as big clash looms over the multibillion-shilling kitty.
The details emerged as the government gave in to pressure from the lawmakers and released Sh7 billion for the fund, with Treasury CS John Mbadi promising a similar amount in two weeks.
For two consecutive days over the weekend, a tough-talking Raila said CDF, alongside other resources like the road maintenance levy must be given to county governments.
