    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to draw the attention of the Chair and that of the House to the fact that on 14th May this year, I stood here and sought a statement on the issue of the Equilisation Fund. The Chair issued a directive on that day to a Joint Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs and the Committee on Devolved Government to inquire into the matter on how funds under the Equalisation Fund were distributed and to report back within a week. No report was brought but on 16th June, 2013, I raised the matter again and the Speaker ordered the two Chairpersons to bring a Report to the Senate. Last month, two weeks ago, this issue also rose again. Kitui County, having been rightly classified as a marginalised county along with others was left out in the distribution of funds under the Equalisation Fund in this financial year. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to plead with you to prevail upon the two Committee Chairpersons to produce a report or the statement that I asked for so that this House can have the opportunity to deliberate on the Division of the Equalisation Fund for this year."
