I want to say that marginalization in this country has been going on for a long time and it is now time with the new Constitution to correct it. Many areas have been staying without proper infrastructure and the people there have been suffering. I want to support this amendment and further say that we need to also challenge the CRA for picking the areas which they have listed. If you look at the Constitution, Article 204(2) is very clear that marginalized areas are not specific counties. If you look at areas which have been mentioned by one of the hon. Members in this House, an area like Kitui, I do not think anybody needs to be reminded that part of Kitui is horrible. Even the CRA Chair, Mr. Cheserem himself cried when he visited the area. For some of the areas which have been treated as not marginalized, I am not very sure that even some of the hon. Members of this House coming from counties like Baringo are aware that Baringo is not part of the counties that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
