    "content": "electricity, could get extra funding in order to catch up with the rest of the areas that started getting these funds before us. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Equalisation Fund Appropriation Bill No.7 of 2025. Tana River will be getting Kshs719 million. Bura Constituency will be getting Kshs259,489,901. Galole Constituency will be getting Kshs196,502,469. Garsen Constituency will be getting the larger share because it has a bigger population; Kshs263,022,881. These monies, according to the Act do not go to the County Revenue Fund (CRF). Section Four of this Act specifically excludes these monies from being taken to the CRF. This means that their appropriation is faster. It is possible for this money to be released from the National Treasury and once those plans are approved, it is then possible to use this money without too much delay. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as these funds, Kshs719 million, go down to Tana River County, the people of Tana River County are looking up to seeing better water services, roads, health facilities, as well as a better reach for electricity distribution network around our county. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge that those who will receive these monies and who will be given the opportunity to choose the projects in the various wards, since the various wards come up with their projects, we expect proper utilization of the funds. Let us make it worth it; that all this effort we put reflect well on the ground, so that our people do not say we are just talking and they do not get information or benefits of devolution. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those many words, I beg to support. Thank you."
