Lemaltian","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion by the Bullfighter, Sen. (Dr) Khalwale. I strongly support that it is about time we move our oversight role from the city or from the tarmac to the actual ground which is the people. I beg to reiterate that Turkana County is in the north of Kenya. I would like to welcome all of you to the north so that you have a one-on-one outlook and view on why the equalization fund is very necessary. I remember a few days ago, I was defending it in this House."}
