"content": "By now, these counties are supposed to have caught up with development levels of other counties. Unfortunately, looking through the history of the Equalisation Fund and the Report tabled here, I have a lot of doubt as to whether we were serious when this Article of the Constitution was enacted. My constituency is one of the counties that have been extra- marginalised. I want to let this House know that Kacheliba Constituency was not part of Kenya up to 1972. We are new Kenya. In fact, we are now marginalised by history and the system. Up to now, the Equalisation Fund that was supposed to bring special services such as water, health, roads, and electricity has not done anything. It is a case where we are only given hope by this Fund. The spirit of surviving without it is killed. We become more vulnerable when we are told that we have a Fund that is supposed to bring us to speed to development, but it is not made available."
