    "content": "I have looked at what CRA has identified. It has identified 14 out of the 47 counties as areas that require the Equalization Fund. If you look at those areas, Turkana County leads in terms of the size of the Equalization Fund that was allocated. It has been given about Kshs271 million. Of the 14 counties, Lamu was given the least allocation of Kshs186 million. Then the list runs down from Mandera, Wajir, Marsabit, Samburu, West Pokot and all that. I want to commend CRA for doing a good job, but there is something seriously wrong with CRA in terms of their thinking. The Constitution is very clear and it talks about marginalized areas. It does not, in any way, talk about marginalized counties. As I have said before, the Constitution is very clear that the Equalization Fund is a national Fund. It has nothing to do with the counties."
