    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Indeed, I stand here to support the passage of the Equalisation Fund. Unfortunately, from the time the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, was enacted, the Equalisation Fund has never been operationalised. Now that the National Treasury has come up with a framework, a statutory requirement to have the Fund operational, I support the idea that the Equalisation Fund should be under the supervision of the Members of Parliament just like the NG- CDF is doing today. As much as devolution is being appreciated by Kenyans, there are a lot of complaints at the county and constituency levels. The only Fund which is being appreciated today, that is actually doing a lot of construction of schools, including security buildings for our officers and taking care of sports, is the NG-CDF."
