    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, inequity has caused this country a lot of pain since Independence. Many corners of this country have been ignored. They have not been benefitting from the taxes that they pay, because of poor management of our resources. This time round, the Minister has, at least, indicated that this is a very important element of our development agenda. He has actually factored funds for various constituencies which, of course, cover the entire Republic. I do not think this is actually what we had in our party manifestoes when we campaigned for election last time. It is still short of what we promised our electorate. Actually, he has given us only 7 per cent for the constituencies, whereas looking at what we had promised Kenyans in the various party manifestoes, some were talking about allocating 60 per cent of the Budget for development in the constituency or grassroots level. I remember that ODM had promised 60 per cent, while NARC(K) promised 65 per cent. So, 7 per cent is not what the majority of Kenyans had aspired for, but it is a move in the right direction."
