    "content": "The Committee made various observations regarding the Equalisation Appropriation Fund Bill (Senate Bills No.7 of 2025). The Bill provided for allocation per county and, subsequently, per constituency. The projects to be funded are only in the identified marginalised areas. A review of the projects identified by the Equalisation Fund Advisory Board as of June, 2024 indicated that 1,415 projects have been proposed for implementation under the Second Marginalisation Policy. The Equalisation Fund has two Appropriation Acts in place. The Equalisation Fund Appropriation Act No.3 of 2018 amounts to Kshs12.4 billion, being the allocation for the financial years 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 implemented through the first Marginalisation Policy. Madam Temporary Speaker, these financial years are nearly 10 years old. The challenge we have faced with the Equalisation Fund is the reimbursement to beneficiary counties or marginalised areas. That is why the Kshs12.4 billion was the first allocation."
