"content": "National Treasury is a very welcome idea. Let the people who will manage these funds work day and night to ensure that services are provided in these areas. The formulation of the marginalisation formula should be done without interference. This is an area we need to look into. It is unfortunate that most of the commissioners in the Commission on Revenue Allocation are politicians with different interests. This is an issue that we need to address. We should ensure that only areas that deserve to get these funds benefit. Funds should not be disbursed based on personal nor partisan interests or somebody from that area is a member of the Commission. This Fund should be given to my constituency and other deserving areas like north eastern and ASAL areas. For this formula, it is very important to use quality data. I have been championing the funding of the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS). This is a Government agency which is entrusted with collecting, analysing, validating and disseminating official statistics. If it is not well-funded, then we will not get quality data to help us generate the formula. With those few remarks, I support."
