    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am a bit uncomfortable with restricting the qualifications of Revenue Allocation Commission to people who have only issues on economics and finance. This is because when allocating revenue it is not only about addition of figures. You have to have other perceptions and issues on board. When trying to allocate resources to far flung areas and disadvantaged places, you should not only have the knowledge of one plus one but also the knowledge to perceive and conceive that some places are really disadvantaged. When we talk about distances, longevity, access to facilities and statistics in the case where the people of Turkana are being challenged that they do not add up to the numbers, you would need a statistician on board. I think the Committee that is relevant in vetting the Commission would have the capacity to see how they can accommodate the vast expertise that would be needed to serve within the revenue allocation. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to Mr. Okemo, I would want to oppose this amendment because I do not think it carries everybody on board."
