If I were asked the one single reason why this Senate exists and for what purpose, it is to create a balanced and equitable development in our country; period! So, as much as I know there are other issues that, perhaps, you may be interested in and we are asking why we are not involved in, if we discharge this mandate of equalisation of our country in the next so many years, we would be national heroes. You would not even require scavenging for attention from anybody. So, we should be passionate enough that we have a sacred and important duty to ensure that our country enjoys equitable development. One way through this Bill, as I have said, is relooking at that formula in future to see to what extent it promotes equalisation. Secondly, it is to relook and even engage other stakeholders in the whole issue of the Equalisation Fund, because over and above this revenue, there is Kshs4.3 billion The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
