    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support the Bill. I would also like to add my comments and sentiments on Clause 10(a) on the Equalization Fund. We feel that a few people might be trying to believe that this Fund should go to the so-called marginalized areas which are normally interpreted as hardship areas. There are very many areas in this country which can be considered to be pockets of poverty and these areas have been neglected for a long time. We have an example of one area where I come from called “Mathioya”. We do not know what happened with the allocation of funds for infrastructure and water. This is because that constituency has not benefitted at all. It is my request that before this Commission starts its work it should go round the country and identify the areas which have been marginalized for a very long time. I heard one of the hon. Members talk about Suba, Turkana and others but there are some areas in Central Province which are even worse than that."
