    "content": "among marginalised areas. They need to allow for marginalised areas which were left out of the first and second policies to benefit from this Fund. The Senate took very many months to agree on the revenue sharing formula. To this day, we have a lot of problems to accept those formulas as they are. I do not know whether this House had an opportunity to critically, look at it. It is a policy which gives a flat rate to the parameters across the counties without giving consideration that the counties are at different levels in terms of development. They propose to give 18 percent to health. They also give the same percentage to Kiambu and Isiolo counties whereas, in Isiolo, the dispensaries are 200 kilometers apart on a rough road. It also gives equal percentage of water for example in Nairobi and Isiolo County where 80 per cent of the population of people from Isiolo County do not have access to water. As I am speaking here, I know water is a devolved function. I have two children who are admitted in a hospital because of lack of drinking water in a location called Sericho Modogashe. Therefore, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is my hope and prayer that this regulation is passed so that those young people’s lives are saved. Thank you and I support."
