    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I apologise. From the onset, I support the Bill. I support the concept of marginalized areas being given extra funds to channel development on the face of it. I also support the Bill because it elevates the burden of the already strained county budget and the fact that it is project and area-specific. However, I have an issue with the formula. Nairobi City County has been presumed as rich because we have rich estates like Karen and Muthaiga. We ignore the slum dwellers of this county. Article 204 of the Constitution that creates this Bill is clear that the funds are supposed to benefit the marginalized areas. In Nairobi City County, we have a lot of marginalized areas that are also densely populated. Nairobi is the home of large slums like Kibera, Mathare, Korogocho, and the Mukuru Kayaba. I am sure you have never heard of a slum called Silanga. The deplorable state that Kenyans are living in has continued to be ignored by policymakers and legislators in this and the other House."
