    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice on this Bill. I rise to support the Equalization Fund Bill. The Equalization Fund was established under the new Constitution in 2010, under Article 204 (1). The reason for establishing this Fund was to equalize the country as the name says. It was meant to address the very basic needs in the society; the issues of water, accessibility through roads, health facilities and electricity. It was a very nice breakthrough in the BOMAS discussions that the basic needs of Kenyans were articulated as areas of equality; that there is no equality in this country unless we are equal in these social rights; accessing clean water, our own home areas through good road networks and health facilities. However, it is very sad that we still have that inequality despite the fact that during the BOMAS discussions, everybody was anxious to get this behind us. In fact, there was a time limit for the Equalization Fund."
