    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are splitting hairs. In recognition of marginalization in the country, the BBI acknowledged that Kenya has marginalization. There is a report that was tabled that shows the rest of the country has red and a small portion of the country has green. It was tabled by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). I have said on the Floor the verse in the Bible that says that those who have more, more shall be given and those who have little, even the little they have shall be taken away from them. This is the true story of Kenya. So, Sen. Malalah is saying that we hope that in the BBI, the disparity will be bridged. Is it not a fact that there is 2,500 kilometers of tarmac roads in Sen. Wamatangi’s county whereas there is 750 kilometers tarmacked roads in Kakamega? It is a fact! So, let us not go to those details. If we do, this debate will degenerate into why the rest of the country is red and some parts are green. I will bring the marginalization policy which I have in my office."
