    "content": "us follow to the ground and ensure that this money goes to counties. This Fund should be categorised as a priority because is meant to address basic human needs and right of the people on the ground. The priority areas that the Equalization Fund is meant to address are listed in the Bill of Rights Chapter in the Constitution; they are also human rights. They were rights because Kenyans have a right to proper healthcare and sufficient clean water. These are rights in the Constitution. We should not compromise these things at any time. I was very happy to listen to the contributions of my colleagues, that this is an area that we really need to push. My plea to our colleagues is that this is the area that we must do oversight on. When the Senate Oversight Funds will be actualized, we should really work around these areas to make sure that our people, after these five years, have a changed living environment and have some of these basic needs. Honestly, we cannot be discussing year in, year out about money that is allocated and nothing goes to the ground. It is also my prayer that this time round, the money will reach the ground and that there will be changes. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with that, I support."
