    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate that each region must find itself on the table to ensure that equitable distribution of resources is done. However, honestly, it is the leaders who have let down our people. Since we started devolution, a lot of money has been taken to counties. As a country, we agreed that devolution money in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) will be more than any other region, so that our brothers and sisters from there can also grow based on that and also the Equalisation Fund. Today, we are here on the same issue. We have the same amount of money in the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). If you talk about poverty, people sleep hungry in Nairobi City County. If you walk into houses in Nairobi, you will find that. We should not close our eyes and assume that it will always be business as usual. Very soon, we shall say that every constituency should have a share from the division of revenue, so that we can see the development that we always talk about. I tell my brothers that their governors have also failed them. They need to have developed those areas for the last 14 years. I do not support this request for a statement."
