"content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Hon. Atandi, to take note of an omission in this budget. There is always a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) signed between employees and the employer. For teachers and all the other employees, the CBA lasts for four years. This year, the CBA for teachers has ended, and in law, another one has to be signed. It was expected that this budget would deal with this, but I know your good office will look into it in the coming supplementary budgets. The CBAs are already exhausted. We realised that CBAs are the reason why teachers no longer go on strike every December like they did in the past. Previously, there would be a strike every December before examinations. It is very important for the Budget and Appropriations Committee to look at how we will get a new CBA for the teachers. They should look at how we shall get a new CBA appropriated for the teachers so that we have a safe haven of learning throughout the exam time in December and even beyond that particular time. That will be very important for that particular sector. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": " No, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will be very brief. I rise to support this Bill, and particularly just to acknowledge that in fact there are certain areas in this country that are marginalised. It is important that even as we do our budget, we make sure that every corner of this nation gets its basic infrastructure, whether it is water, electricity, roads, or any other important infrastructure so as to enable every part of this country to develop. Recently, I went to Marsabit and I realised that there is so much potential that we can exploit in this country. But some of these areas that are marginalised do not have what it takes for anybody to invest there. So, I support the Equalisation Fund. But the people who receive this money and turn it into their personal use by bringing it to Nairobi to build flats and other things actually do a disservice to this nation. What is important for us is to make sure that the money that is going for the specific projects achieve the purpose and that we give every corner of this nation an opportunity to compete with the rest of the nation."

"content": "Looking at the allocation that is here, I notice that this allocation has been made in such a way that even areas that are relatively developed have been given money, but not enough money. You are given Ksh10 million, Ksh5 million, Ksh12 million, to do what? I am looking at Marsabit, there is an allocation of Ksh302 million to Laisamis, Ksh175 million to Moyale, Ksh239 million to North Horr and Ksh45 million to Saku. Do I build roads? Do I put it in electricity, or in medical, or in what? For that reason, I think marginalisation continues. The the way these resources are being allocated to the counties means that equalisation is not likely to meet the objective that the Constitution intended from the beginning."
