    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Report. I promise that I will be swift enough because many of my colleagues want to speak, and we have only a few minutes. The Equalisation Fund is a Fund that we have been waiting for quite a lengthy time. It is very unfortunate that this has taken this considerable amount of time during our tenure of the 12th Parliament. It has taken too long unnecessarily. Let me say that. It is because the resources that were kept away for over three to four years would have been used by the communities long enough. Therefore, it is an opportunity at this time that this Report has been brought. We congratulate the Committee. It has found out that this is an important Report to bring forward and ensure that those funds are expended accordingly, within the shortest period of time. It is also important that we must acknowledge what the Equalisation Fund has done in the past. It has put more resources to constituencies. At constituency levels, we were able to see that the funds have reached the villages - the far-flung villages. It is also important to note that it is working as good as the NG-CDF. It is important to note also that MPs will be involved in identification of projects in those rural areas in the constituencies. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Report."
