    "content": "Equalisation Fund, Mr. Guyo Boru, and the statement by the Principal Secretary, National Treasury. The Chief Executive Officer says that considering the years that we have lived, the total entitlement for the Equalisation Fund since the Kenyan Constitution was enacted is supposed to be Ksh44 billion and the Principal Secretary says that the entitlement is supposed to be Ksh30 billion. Where are they speaking from? Are we serious in terms of how we keep our records? I want the Committee to give us the true figure. Is it Ksh44 billion or Ksh30 billion entitlement? If that information is in a report like this and it is not mentioned properly, then the Report could be misleading. With that, I submit that this Fund should go to the counties that it is supposed to go. Let it go to the people of Kacheliba Constituency. They do not have water up to now yet we have funds lying here. They do not have roads. Nobody cares that all the electricity poles that had been erected are lying down and yet we are talking about the Equalisation Fund and giving a report. This Report will only be on paper until the Committee submits it and ensures that the Fund is doing what it is supposed to do as per Article 204 of the Constitution."
