    "content": "I believe this has been the trick all along. Without a specific law in place, they can avoid distributing the Fund. For instance, you cannot fail to allocate money to the Consolidated Fund and the County Revenue Fund (CRF). However, instead of allocating money to the Equalization Fund, we tend to allocate funds to other areas, neglecting the Equalization Fund. This reflects a belief that the people from marginalised areas such as the Coast and the north are not as significant. We are perpetuating the same approach outlined in the 1963 Sessional Paper despite being bound by the Constitution. However, we have a Constitution that we must obey. Just as we allocate funds to the counties, we are obligated to do the same for the Equalization Fund. This is a constitutional obligation."
