    "content": "Turkana County is among the counties identified by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) as a marginalised region, hence eligible to benefit from the Equalisation Fund. However, effective implementation of the Fund in Turkana South has faced several challenges, including sluggish progress in infrastructure development, lack of collaboration between the county and the sub-county technical committees in prioritisation and approval of project funding proposals, and lack of transparency to the public on projects funded by the Equalisation Fund and those funded by the County Government of Turkana. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is against this background that I request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the following: 1. A report on the projects implemented under the Equalisation Fund in Turkana South Sub-County since the inception of the Fund, including an assessment of the impact of the Fund in achieving the objective envisaged in Article 204(1) of the Constitution; 2. Clarification on whether the Napusmoru and Kaibachal water projects in Turkana South Sub-County were funded under the Equalisation Fund or by the County Government of Turkana; 3. The measures put in place to distinguish projects implemented under the Equalisation Fund from those funded by county governments in order to enhance transparency and accountability; and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
