    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. After waiting for so long, I finally got a chance. I support the amendment Bill basically because it seeks to correct the injustices and marginalisation that has been happening to some parts of this country for a very long time. This Bill will ensure that basic services, especially health, water and education, are accessed by our women and children. For a very long time, the northern Kenya region and other marginalised regions of this country have been left behind. It was only after we had the CDF in place that we saw some light at the end of the tunnel. Therefore, it is only appropriate that we have the Equalisation Fund going directly to the constituencies to ensure that it touches the hearts of the women and children of Kenya. At the moment, the CDF resources are not enough. Therefore, I appeal that the CDF allocation is also increased from 2.5 to 5 per cent of the national revenue. We should also have other devolved funds going directly to the constituencies. That is what is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
