    "content": "marginalised. Who is marginalising these counties? So, I support this amendment by the Senate, but I wish the Budget and Appropriations Committee would re-look into the money which has not been spent from 2010 to date and ensures that the 14 counties which were allocated the money from 2010 to 2020 are given their money, so that they can spend it on the right projects which they had stated. As a beneficiary of this allocation, I wish to also state that inside the marginalised counties, the Equalization Fund that was meant to cure marginalisation, there is also serious marginalisation inside the picked counties. If you look at how the disparities were done, you start identifying using sub-locations or even wards so that if this money was allocated to one constituency, you will realise that they are allocating to only two or three wards. What will the rest of the wards say? It is causing a lot of turmoil. Hon. Temporary Speaker, my contribution is that the Committee on Budget and Appropriations which is concerned, should look into the money or the balance which was not allocated to these marginalised counties so that they can get their fair share. Secondly, The CRA should use a model that will purely identify the areas which were marginalised both by the Governments and by nature so that we can bring these people to an equal level. Otherwise, we would be saying that we are allocating Equalization Fund and not doing what is supposed to be done. So, I wish to support and ask the Committee that is concerned to implore upon the CRA so that they can do proper allocation of these funds."
