    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the gracious Senator for the Statement that she has made in relation to the Equalisation Fund. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are many marginalized areas in this Republic. In accordance with the Constitution, the CRA did a good job, but in accordance with the booklet that the hon. Senator has laid on the Table, there are 21 counties or areas that were identified in that booklet as marginalized. Thereafter, the Commission went down and eliminated some. They were 21 and they eliminated seven. Among those eliminated were Kitui County, Baringo County and others. Can we get an undertaking that those counties that had been identified as marginalized and were left out, are going to be included during the next financial year? If we got this assurance, since it is already past, I think that we will be satisfied. But we cannot allow this marginalization, which has gone on for decades to continue, because this fund is supposed to run for another 20 years. May I get this assurance?"
