United Democratic Alliance, Nominated Senator Tabitha Mutinda has proposed that parliament needs to scrap off the Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
The Senator urged all the MPs despite their political affiliation to submit the amendment that would scrap off the kitty and reallocate the funds.
According to the Senator, the funds from the kitty would be reallocated to servicing the national debt hence solving the country’s conundrum of debt.
“All Members of parliament need to scrap CDF, they need to get into parliament with the agenda of removing CDF. The funds should then be redirected to clear the National Debt,” she stated.
Mutinda further argued that the protests which are being largely fuellled by the Gen-Z would stop if such stringent measures were adopted.
According to the Senator, another convincing action that would get the Kenyan Youth to calm down would be a cabinet reshuffle.
However, she proposed that the President be allowed enough time to make the changes in his cabinet.
This is after there has been uproar across several platforms where Kenyans have lamented against certain members of the Cabinet citing incompetence.
Additionally, she stated that Gen-Z protestors needed to avoid the infiltration of criminal elements in the groups.
Mutinda’s sentiments come at a time when leaders from different quarters have expressed differing opinions on the matter of the protests.
In the past week, ODM MP, Daniel Manduku claimed that he would be willing to resign from the parliament citing that the people had lost faith in their leaders.
The legislator also pushed for the dissolution of the parliament and the holding of new elections.
