    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Allow me to thank you very much for that intervention yesterday. Because of that intervention, I was very happy. Should you need anything else that requires voting within and without, I will be the chief agent. Issues of equalisation are dynamite to some of us and about 80 Members of Parliament seated here. Now that the Chairman has confirmed that he has the Regulations, I want him to further tell the House that he will involve the more than 80 Members of Parliament in terms of looking at those Regulations. Why I am saying that is because we shuttled a lot from Parliament to Treasury and nobody listened to us. This is the best opportunity that we have been given. Secondly, it should be realised that the driving factor behind the Equalisation Fund is marginalization of some areas and communities. It must be bottom-up driven and not up-bottom driven. So, I want the Chairman, through you, to confirm that he is going to involve more than 80 Members in finalising the Regulations. I thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker."
