    "content": "One, the first marginalisation policy identified 14 counties to be the beneficiaries of Article 204, where Equalisation Fund is based. Counties like Taita-Taveta used to get in excess of Ksh700 million annually. In the Bill that we are passing today, Taita Taveta has only Ksh21 million. This is extremely sad, taking into account the fact that Taita Taveta was identified as the first 14 counties that lagged behind because previous governments before devolution did not identify themselves with other counties that were far from Nairobi. As I support, I know the CRA will be sitting to do a new marginalisation policy in the next few months and I want to request this House that we revert to the 14 counties, so that the real marginalisation that has happened since Independence can be cured by these funds that are there to achieve equity and equalisation in the country. I support this Bill. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
