"content": "Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have noted the concerns of my good friend, Sen. Sakaja. I want to state it here for the records that Sen. Sakaja cares about all the children in this country. I just want him to understand that I am not saying that he does not care. However, I want him to distinguish between being marginalized and poor. You could live somewhere in Nairobi, for example, in Lavington and you are poor, but not marginalized. This is because you can access clean water. The issue is clear. Urban areas have access to services that marginalized areas do not have. Urban areas have access to good roads unlike in Narok County. Also, children in poor remote areas in Narok County do not have access to these services. Madam Temporary Speaker, when you listen to the people of Narok on a daily basis, they only ask for three things. One, is water, two, good roads and three, a hospital. This is what marginalization means. This is what the framers of the Constitution had in mind. They set aside a percentage of all the money appropriated on each financial year, to be used for equalization to allow areas which were historically left behind to slowly catch up. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would be happy if one day, I have three roads to get to Narok. That way, I will not get stuck at the escarpment and spend two days because there is only one road to Narok. I will be so happy if I go to a place in Enaibor Ajijik in Narok and get clean water. I would be so happy if I stop my frequent visits to the Permanent Secretary (PS), Ministry of Energy or Rural Electrification Authority"
