    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this Bill. The first thing that has brought light to this Bill is the Equalisation Fund, which is 0.64 percent of the revenue collected nationally. This money will be shared equally amongst those counties which are yet to develop. This is one of the good things that the Government has done for those counties which are still behind in terms of development. Although this money has been withheld for a long time, we are happy that it has eventually been released. Some counties have lagged behind in terms of development because they did not get the same treatment as the developed counties because of political affiliations or because of other factors that did not favour them. I support this Bill because these funds will help the underdeveloped counties to catch up with the rest of the country. On the issue of the national interest, I am very happy that the Government has provided funds for purchase of security operation vehicles and helicopters. We want to see the security agencies in all the counties affected by insecurity being assigned vehicles and helicopters so that they can effectively respond to emergencies."
