    "content": " Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance to support this very important Bill. This Bill intends to operationalize Articles 215 and 216 of the Constitution. I think we are duty-bound to support this Bill. I have issues with Clause 10 on the Equalization Fund to marginalized areas. We want this Commission to come up with the best formula possible in the region to determine the population and poverty indices that will be used to allocate funds to Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) or marginalized areas. As we speak right now, we have statistics that are very doubtful and immediately we operationalize this Bill and the President assents to it, we want that Commission to come up with the best formula to help those areas that are marginalized. When you hear people in Mr. Kajwang’s place saying that they are more marginalized than the former North Eastern Province and the Turkana, Pokot and Borana regions--- I do not mind about Suba because I know that they have been marginalized for some time but the areas that we know have been marginalized are all in the ASALs."
