"content": "adjectives attributed to poverty, to me, that is running away from reality. We need to appreciate the fact that even those counties which have a lot to share and give to other counties should be appreciated. The only way we can appreciate this is by way of supporting those counties which are productive, so that they can continue generating more. They should be encouraged to continue selling more and continue marketing whatever commodities they have, so that more revenue is generated. It is this same revenue that will be, later on, given to those disadvantaged counties. Therefore, it is important for the advantaged counties to be appreciated. My County is Kirinyaga. You should be proud of where you come from because there is nothing you can change. You are from there, so the most important thing to do is to improve your county by using what we call opportunity cost and trying to make sure that you are making your county better than how you found it. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to challenge the Senators not to always be evasive from the point. If you come from a region like Wajir, which is considered marginalized be proud of it because, the other day, we learnt of a discovery of oil. Therefore, very soon, they will generate more revenue that will be shared by other counties. So, if everybody from marginalized areas will come here lamenting, nothing will change. The status will remain."
