    "content": "Sen. Karen Nyamu, I attended one of the best schools in this country. I am an alma mater of Kapsabet Boys High School, the only school that has produced two presidents: the late His Excellency Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi and the fifth President of the Republic of Kenya, Dr. William Samoei Arap Ruto. That is the fifth president and we are going to give him two terms. Possibly, the seventh president will be yours truly, of course. In English I say she does her work with an eye of military marksman or markswoman because the military has both women and men. I do so to show appreciation to our women leaders led by Sen. Mutinda. This is a very fairly short Bill. I agree with the Mover. I do not know what is happening with the National Treasury. They are putting us in a crisis mode. The Kshs46.5 billion that is owed to the Equalisation Fund continue to cripple provision of services. As you are aware, Article 204 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 stipulates that these funds are to be used for basic needs such as hospitals and roads, among others. Mr. Temporary Speaker, I request the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget and the Senate Business Committee (SBC) to schedule a Committee of the Whole, chaired by you. We need to summon the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning, Hon. John Mbadi, to appear before us and address the issue of the 424 marginalised areas, including your own county, Garissa County. The other day, extinguishing a fire in Masjid, one of your town’s markets, was a problem. I am informed the firefighters are not well trained, which is very unfortunate. On these 424 marginalized areas of 34 counties, why is it that Kshs46.5 billion is yet to be released? This will continue to cripple services. Over the weekend, one of the artists from Nandi County called Jantex, from a place called Cherondo, which is in Kapchorwa Ward, between Kapchorwa and Lesos The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
