    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you look at counties like Kajiado, Nyeri and Machakos, you will find that some areas of those counties are being classified as ASAL areas. However, if you use the current Constitution, they will not benefit from the Equalisation Fund and yet, they fall under ASAL areas. The ASAL areas are the ones which year in, year out, depend on relief food. This is the case and yet, you deny them the benefit of the Equalisation Fund because you have talked generally as a county. If you take the county parameter, it comes to the institution or the offices that do poverty evaluation in this country. They pick some areas. Let me even use my county, which is Kajiado, as an example. The county starts here in Nairobi, extends to Ngong and borders Coast Province in Taveta. If an institution that does the poverty evaluation index report just picks some areas of Ngong Town, Rongai, Kitengela, Loitokitok Town and then generally says that this is a very rich country, that does not even constitute 0.01 per cent of the 22,000 square-kilometers of that county."
