    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Equalisation Fund Appropriation (No.2) Bill, (Senate Bill No.30 of 2023), be now read a Third Time. Before I call the Seconder, I want to thank all the Members and the House for ably debating this matter and for passing Ksh7.4 billion that will be going into the Equalization Fund. It is also important for Members to know that we have also budgeted for the arrears from the previous years that were never disbursed, especially because of the stand-off in terms of regulations. Therefore, we will be passing over Ksh7.4 billion to the counties and the areas that should be boosted. We have included part of the arrears of the Equalization Fund because we want Kenya to develop together. When every part of Kenya develops, the whole country ultimately develops. This is money that will be going into infrastructure projects like roads, water and other facilities like those in the education sector. That is because we want those areas that have been marginalised for too long to catch up so that Kenya develops together."
