    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support the report except that I think the committees are too many. I would suggest that we have a national committee and constituency committees. This will make it easier, as far as implementation of these projects are concerned, a case study that should be used is the CDF format. This Fund was set to ensure that at least there is some development in areas that had been left out since Independence. The irony is, as we speak now, there is still inequality in the distribution of resources in this country. In fact, the most developed areas still get more resources as far as budgetary allocations are concerned. It is even more disheartening to note that even the little that was allocated through the Equalisation Fund has not been disbursed to the benefit of the 14 counties that were supposed to benefit. Indeed, when another 20 counties were added to the lists, I do not think whether somebody really thought seriously about it, because you are spreading the resources thinly that they will have no development impact as was envisaged. That was the first mistake. And it was still an element of trying to undermine development in marginalised communities. Some of our districts were called closed districts."
