    "content": "the challenges that this fund will help mitigate. Roads also need to be improved so that the people of Soba/Songor Ward can have the opportunity to utilize Kshs85 million. Tinderet ward, the Uwanja Ndege area up to Kapkitang, Soin, Sigawet, Kipyawor, just to mention a few, will have the opportunity of getting over Kshs12.2 million. I am happy that Nandi Hills Constituency will get Kshs13,047,066, and Tinderet Constituency will get Kshs109,773,924. It is our interest as a Senate to ensure the approved funds for the four wards of Kapchorua, Chemilil/Chemase, Songor/Soba and Tinderet will be used for the intended purpose. I would also want to see a ward like Terik benefit from this fund. The Kaborua area in the Chepterwai Ward in the Mosop sub-county has similar challenges with wards that have received funds. I hope in the future the Committee on Finance and Budget will allow us to allocate funds to more wards in Nandi County. Kaptuiya and Terik wards as you are headed to western Kenya also face similar challenges and should be declared as a hardship area. Government employees in these areas should receive hardship allowances, especially from the Teacher Service Commission (TSC). This is the money that we are pushing to go to people in Mashinani . We should ensure that the Equalisation Fund is allocated to counties transparently and equally in terms of development across our country. As the Senator of Nandi and a member of this great House, we should always endeavour to ensure that every shilling we appropriate is used for the intended purpose. I was near Migori County over the weekend – I do not know what Sen. Oketch Gicheru has done to the light at the dispatch, it is now red. I support the Bill."
