    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, in other words, Sen. Karaba is admitting that contrary to his initial views, Kirinyaga County is capable of taking over this function, if transferred to them. He is saying that already the CDF is being used to build those institutions and that the Equalisation Fund was targeted for that reason. We know very well that the Equalisation Fund will not go to all counties but to some. Clear resources for building classrooms and laboratories and for equipping them should be given to counties so that they prioritise what to build and we stop situations like what we used to have in our days. During our days, while we were in class, we could see animals like donkeys grazing and this would cause distraction. In fact, we need to have the capacity. Madam Temporary Speaker, counties like Turkana and other areas where there are pastoralist communities should make a decision on what kind of infrastructure they want to build. If they know that they will be moving from one area to another, probably they may want to build makeshift classrooms and retain some of their money. Those priorities are not known by the national Government. They are known by the entities at the local level and that is important.
