    "content": "What do I mean by this? I have seen my brother Sen. Cherarkey struggling with the concept of having even a Senate representative visible in the Budget Implementing Structure that we are proposing in this Bill. The complexity emerges because perhaps the understanding of many people is not that this fund is for counties. If you read Article 204 (1) and (11), you will realize that this is not money for the counties. It is money to the counties from the National Government. It is a National Government intervention under Article 204 (2). I do not know why Sen. Cherarkey has left the House. This one he should have listened to. Article 204(2) of the Constitution states – ‘The National Government shall the Equalization Fund only to provide basic services including water, roads, health, facilities and electricity to marginalized areas to the extent necessary to bring the quality of these services to those areas to the level generally enjoyed by the rest of the nation, so far as possible.’"
