    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I beg to move: THAT, the Equalisation Fund Appropriation Bill, (Senate Bill No.3 of 2023), be now read a Second Time. I want to thank all the Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and others who were involved in deliberating this matter. This Bill is appropriating money to be used in regard to the Equalisation Fund. Across the country, there are around 34 counties that benefit from this Fund. Some benefit much more because they need to be at par with the others. This is not a matter of county issues because the Fund goes to specific areas. That is why you find others that ordinarily would not be drawing money from this Fund having various areas to draw the money. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the highest beneficiaries of this Fund are the counties of Turkana, Wajir and many others like Bomet. Also, in my own county of Murang’a, there is an area called ‘Ithanga’ that is represented by Hon. Wakili Muriu, which needs to be uplifted as we consider other areas to benefit from the Equalisation Fund. I can read the mood of the House that Members want to contribute to this Bill. I had time to contribute to other matters and so, I do not want to take much time so that the available time can be spread across Members. Since we are a House that upholds and respects our women The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
