    "content": "In the wisdom of the framers of our Constitution, we created an equalisation fund. In my view, the best approach would have been, if the Executive side of the Government was willing, it could have planned and actually checked the difference between the average Kenyan and those places which are marginalised, do a programme where they borrow in advance an amount that is equivalent to 0.05 per cent of 20 years budget, take a loan and do those projects upfront. Unfortunately, four years down the line, the Government has not even released that money to the Equalisation Fund. Therefore, this House has a duty to bring up a legislation that will make sure that, that money is effectively used. That is the money that the Constitution has already set aside."
