Temporary Deputy Speaker, we need to make constituencies the focal point for the distribution of the Equalization Fund. The reason for this is that, if you look at Kericho County where I come from, my constituency, Sigowet/Soin, is not different from any Arid and Semi Arid Land (ASAL) area in this country. It is not different from Sigor Constituency represented here by my colleague, hon. Rotino. It is not different from Kacheliba or what the local people call, Kwachalibai . It is one of the most marginalized parts of this country. I do support that we change the focal point for the Equalization Fund to be at the constituency level. Secondly, if you look at the poverty index, the rate of development and the infrastructural development in the country, you will realize that certain parts of the counties which we consider as the most developed, are actually marginalized. Imagine when one talks about Kericho County---"
