    "content": "(3) The Commission on Revenue Allocation should provide a clear description of the term ‘marginalised areas’. The misunderstanding where poverty is equated to marginalisation and marginalisation equated to poverty where urban poor and pockets of poverty have been identified as marginalised areas, need to be corrected. A clear term of what marginalisation entails which is resulting from a state of deliberate resource denial by successive governments starting from the colonial government followed by all other governments before the advent of devolution that created a situation of grave under development in selected counties. That was initially the constitutional term of marginalised areas. However, this has been subjected to quite a bit of definition from many participants to a level that has been diluted so much that equalisation is supposed to mean poverty and arguments follow that line."
