    "content": "A person sentenced to death and allegedly hanged in Kamiti was enjoying himself in Zambia after killing Hon. Tom Mboya. When my Member of Parliament at the time raised that question, the Government of the day responded and Hon. George Justus Morara died in a suspicious road accident in Kakamega. He was followed by Hon. Tom Mong’are from the same constituency, who never completed his term and then Hon. Henry Obwocha, who stood up to President Daniel Arap Moi. Because of that position, the constituency suffered heavily. So, there is political marginalisation. As they put it, political choices have political consequences. That is why many regions in Kenya that have taken certain political positions have always been marginalised. I support this Bill, but I will be proposing amendments because we cannot make this Fund an extension of the county governments. Article 204 of the Constitution is very clear that the national Government must use the Fund to correct historical injustices, more so, marginalisation. Therefore, if we were to cede this Fund and devolve it, we will be acting unconstitutionally."
