    "content": "You cannot believe when you hear the clamour of ‘one man, one vote, one shilling’ coming from areas that were favoured at the time of Independence. They were given the opportunity and priority to develop as other parts of the country waited to gain from those proceeds. There is no way we are going to fight for equality in this country when parts of this country have been left the way they are. We know that our Constitution has been celebrated as being very progressive because it aspires to bring up all citizens so that, even if they are not at an equal level, they are nearly as equal as possible. For that reason, I support the Bill. However, I want to say that there is no way counties will house or domicile the Equalisation Fund. We must cap priority areas where the Fund should be used. Otherwise, the Fund runs the risk of just being lost within the rest of the funds going into counties. Therefore, it will not have done what it is intended to do. I know there is not much time and my colleagues want to speak. I support the Bill and thank you for the opportunity."
