    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Motion. This is one of the best Motions since this House started conducting business. It has been brought by a respectable Senator and that shows that this House is dynamic. This is an amendment that will assist the entire country and in particularly those areas which are endowed with natural resources; found on the surface of the earth like wind, water, limestone or even some soils. There is something that was not mentioned, magadi, a resource which is in my county. As we seek to ensure that our counties are uplifted, we should look at the areas we refer to as marginalised. These are the areas where you find the poorest people of this country living and those are also the areas endowed with minerals. It is good if we can come up with good amendments, like the one that has already been proposed, so that at the end of the day, when they are passed and a Bill is brought to the House, the counties can benefit more. I believe that with such amendments, we will uplift the standards of livelihood in our areas and help counties that are benefiting from the Equalisation Fund to be at par with those that we feel have been favoured in one way or another in the past. I stand here to second and say that this will be the best amendment."
