    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Equalisation Fund Regulations Report. I have a very special history with this Fund. As a framer of the Constitution in 2010, I participated in Naivasha as a Member of the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) chaired by Hon. Abdikadir, Hon. Ekwe Ethuro, the late Hon. Nkaisserry, Hon. Sophia Abdi and others, we fought for this Fund to come into existence. That is how Article 204 of the Constitution which established the Equalisation Fund came into being. In the 11th Parliament as the Secretary-General of the Pastoralists Parliamentary Group, I worked very hard to ensure the first policy of this Fund was operationalised. We were able to get money for the 14 counties. Unfortunately, the CoG went to court and as a result for the last three or four years nothing has been happening but the Fund is secured by the Constitution and nothing can be lost except, we have lost a lot of time."
