Peter Lomude Chairperson of the Parliamentary Committee For The Constituency Development Fund said that, the funds will help the legislators to provide services to the people. 


“We have seen some circumstances where children are learning under trees; they have no access to clean water. And if this budget is to be a national budget, it should be felt by our people.” Peter said.
