    "content": "The Equalisation Fund has been mismanaged and does not work anymore. It was meant for areas that had been marginalised for many years like Narok, Turkana, Wajir, and Lamu. Those are areas without any substantive leadership or development. The Equalisation Fund has so far died. I do not know whether it is the county governments which interfered with it or the Government which never wanted to implement it. The only time we got money from the Equalisation Fund was in 2015 and that was all. There is allocation of money to the Fund every year. The only money that goes to constituencies and down to the grassroot is money from the NG-CDF. Whenever Members discuss how to share money from the NG-CDF, they must do so with a lot of care. So, do not say you have a bigger population of people and so you must get more than Ksh500 million vis-a-vis a smaller population like that of Emurua Dikirr. It could as well be that Emurua Dikirr has very many challenges that make it qualify for the same allocation as the bigger constituencies. Let us discuss these issues very soberly. I wish to support."
