But he said no "single penny" from the fund had been misappropriated, contrary to reports that the Government would next week send auditors to check the books of accounts.
There have been complaints from residents, with some alleging that projects said to have been initiated through the kitty could not be seen.
Local Ford Kenya followers have announced a plan to hold a demonstration in Kitale Town next week to protest against what they termed misuse of funds.
But the MP denied the claims, saying that the money was intact. He challenged the party followers to prove their allegations.
"In fact, we have just received the Sh56 million that is supposed to go into various projects in the district that will be given out without favour," he added.
He would be the last person to misuse public funds, he said, and termed people attacking him his political enemies.
Earlier, Mr Nakitare gave the Government three days to remove a district development official and threatened to have him ejected by the people.
Last week, at the burial of a constituent, the MP sacked all the CDF officials. But leaders Jeff Wabuge, Jennifer Masis and Maurice Nangole called for an audit of the kitty.
