    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the drafters of our Constitution, the Equalisation Fund was aimed at ensuring that there is equality. It is to ensure that some or most of the marginalized counties in various areas of our country are not left behind. It is aimed at ensuring that we tag along all Kenyans, in terms of development and resource allocation. The fund should ensure that those areas benefit from resources of our country. The Equalisation Fund, from what I have gone through and that which Sen. Olekina said, has a sunset clause. However, as we speak right now, I, as the representative of the County of Bomet, appreciate the allocation that has been given to Bomet County. However, I still seek to ensure that all marginalized areas, in this case, under the policy by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), in terms of identifying areas, which need to benefit, are enhanced. That is because there are certain areas, which are not supposed to benefit, but are benefiting from this Fund. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I come from Chepalungu Constituency in Bomet County. From this Fund, Chebunyo Ward has benefited with Kshs8.7 million, Nyangores Ward has Kshs8.6 million and Sigor Ward has Kshs8.5 million. It totals to Kshs25.8 million from this particular allocation. From where I sit, there are direct benefits that people coming from these particular wards will benefit. However, there are other places"
