Title: MPs to Push for New Constituency Development Fund Allocation
Members of Parliament are set to lobby for a revision of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) allocations, aiming to enhance local development projects across Kenya. The move comes as MPs argue that the current funding framework is insufficient to meet growing demands for infrastructure, education, and healthcare services in their constituencies.
In Mombasa, the Nyali Constituency CDF offices have been highlighted as key operational hubs where MPs plan to coordinate efforts and consultations with stakeholders. Lawmakers are expected to engage with county governments, development partners, and community leaders to propose a new funding model that ensures equitable distribution and efficiency in project implementation.
The proposed lobbying initiative seeks to address challenges such as delayed project completion, limited financial resources, and rising community expectations. Analysts note that revising the CDF framework could significantly boost grassroots development, improve public service delivery, and increase transparency in local governance.
