    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, the House has spoken through the vote that we have just taken. I moved a similar Motion last week which was seconded by the Senator for Bungoma County, Sen. Wetangula, which was negated. I am glad that we have had another opportunity to move a similar Motion. In contributing to the situation that has arisen, if you read the chapter of the Constitution dealing with public finance and the one dealing with devolution, emphasis is on the word ‘equity’ throughout. The chapter that deals with the Bill of Rights talks about equality. Mr. Speaker, Sir, dealing with equality is much easier than dealing with equity. There are two fundamental principles contained in our Constitution. When it comes to public finance and allocation of resources, we are dealing with the concept of equity. The last time that I moved a point of order to defer debate, my point of reference was that taking a vote on the question of resources is always a very difficult question."
