Speaker, the Constitution came up with the Equalisation Fund and if we read that Constitution properly, it was also time-bound. It has been 10 years since the advent of county governments and we also have 10 more years before the end of the Equalisation Fund. What happened was that there were two warring factions on who should implement issues of the Equalisation Fund. The county governments thought that, that was money meant to be sent to those respective counties that qualified for the Equalisation Fund. Yet, again, through line ministries in the Executive, they thought that, that was money to be controlled by the Executive through respective line ministries. This matter went to court and I am not sure whether the determination has already been made by the courts of law as to who should implement those funds. Again, the idea behind the Fund was to bring everybody at par in terms of development, but we have had an inordinate delay for 10 years and the Fund was to last for 20 years. So, we only have 10 years to go if that constitutional dictate is anything to go by. I do not know whether The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
