A Nairobi court has directed the National Treasury not to release the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) as it is unprocedural.
While giving the ruling, Judge Daniel Ogembo said that the petition brought to court by the Council of Governors (CoG) is a duplication of devolved government.
CoG wanted the CDF kitty to be dissolved and the money directed to counties not to individual constituencies.
The Members of Parliament led by the majority leader Aden Duale have expressed their displeasure and said they will move to High Court to revoke the ruling.
"We will have to go to the High Court to urge the money allocated to National Government CDF be made released as it used to be before the devolved government. Many projects in the country are as a result of CDF including hospitals, police posts, bursaries and others," said Duale.
The minority leader, Jakoyo Midiwo said that the many governors have failed to be accountable with the over 30% of their allocation and Kenyans are relying on CDF to instigate projects in their areas.
"The governors have been allocated more than enough money but have failed to account on their usage. There is no need to add them more," said the Gem lawmaker.
Analyst say that many activities will be crippled due to lack of the CDF fund especially school bursaries which have been supporting needy students raise their fees.
