    "content": " Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker and my Chairman. One point which has not clearly come out is the issue that, as a result of the second marginalisation policy, we moved from 14 counties to 34 counties, and we moved to 107 constituencies and 1,024 sub-locations. This has pushed the projects to be so small in terms of size, hence, minimal impact. If we want to help these areas, the next marginalisation policy should factor in the issue of projects with a higher impact. Unless we do that, this will remain a problem. This House must focus on two issues. Firstly, it should ensure that the third marginalisation policy captures the interest of all the Members who have spoken here, so that we have a clear way forward. Secondly, the Equilasation Fund was to last 20 years, and we have already done 15 years with minimal impact. We only have five years to go. I do not know whether, as a House, we would want to extend that time to 40 years. This is something we have to think through. I submit, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
