    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to the Equalisation Fund. The Fund was supposed to be good for marginalised areas. While going through this document, I realised it is a National Government Fund. Some areas are not marginalised per se, but the levels of poverty are too high, and it is important that we consider such areas. But when I went through the document, I realised that the Fund is being disbursed to county governments. I feel this Fund could be given to Members of Parliament because they are closer to the people. Constituencies belong to Members of Parliament, and they can tell what each part needs. I support this Report. As my colleagues have said, this Fund must equalise all constituencies, wards and other underdeveloped areas. This will ensure that all Kenyans get equal services. Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
