    "content": " No, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will be very brief. I rise to support this Bill, and particularly just to acknowledge that in fact there are certain areas in this country that are marginalised. It is important that even as we do our budget, we make sure that every corner of this nation gets its basic infrastructure, whether it is water, electricity, roads, or any other important infrastructure so as to enable every part of this country to develop. Recently, I went to Marsabit and I realised that there is so much potential that we can exploit in this country. But some of these areas that are marginalised do not have what it takes for anybody to invest there. So, I support the Equalisation Fund. But the people who receive this money and turn it into their personal use by bringing it to Nairobi to build flats and other things actually do a disservice to this nation. What is important for us is to make sure that the money that is going for the specific projects achieve the purpose and that we give every corner of this nation an opportunity to compete with the rest of the nation."
