    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Indeed, I am not irrelevant because that Division of Revenue Bill is division of revenue between the county governments and the national Government. The money cannot be mine. That money will come from either of that part of that division. Hon. Deputy Speaker, when he tells me to buy that boat using my CDF money, I will be disadvantaged because that money which I will be using to buy a boat he will use to build a classroom. So, we must be put at an equal level so that he is able to serve his people in the same way that I can serve my people. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have requested the Budget and Appropriations Committee to come to Mbita so that when they talk they know that I am not talking fancy issues here. Some people come from Kenya, others come from a country that almost looks like Kenya and I am one of the people who come from a country that almost looks like Kenya. This is because the resources we have are very different from the resources Kenya has. We have been marginalised for many years. I know that North Eastern has been very loud in terms of saying they are marginalised. We have been speaking very strongly over the marginalisation of others. From this year, I have said I am going to speak about our own marginalisation first before I speak about other people’s marginalisation.
