The bill was passed on Wednesday after the lawmakers debated the provisions of the bill.

This bill comes on the heels of outcry over non-existent and incomplete constituency projects proposed by lawmakers.

According to the bill, projects under the Act when passed shall be community based in order to ensure that the prospective benefits are available to a widespread cross-section of the inhabitants of a particular area. “Projects may include the acquisition of vehicles, machinery and other equipment for the constituency,” are some provisions of the bill.

If not for the projects, majority of federal constituencies would not have a single federal project due to lopsided nature of project allocation in the budget, she said. “The Constituency Projects shall constitute 20% of the Annual Budget by ensuring that certain portion of the nation’s annual budget be set aside for rural development.
