    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other thing that I would like to speak about is the need to relook at the revenue allocation formulae. It is true that the people who pay taxes in terms of population, some of them have not been able to get a lot of money. Some counties are fairly poor. They may not have been sparsely populated or they may not have been marginalized for a long time. Whereas I like speaking about marginalized communities, it is also possible to understand that development is done for almost everyone else. It is true that we have already created the Equalization Fund. We need to think about a formula if this is the role of the Commission for Revenue Allocation. Perhaps they want to borrow the formula that we use under the CDF because you have specific amounts of money being given equally to all counties. From there you can then put in the Equalization Fund in terms of rations of poverty. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if at all we re-work the formula; in terms of how the revenue to the various counties is allocated, then we will be moving forward and we will not have many issues. With those many remarks, I would like to say that I support but with the fact that we really relook at The County Allocation Revenue Bill in good time or within the budget cycle so that, at least, we are not rushing just for the sake of procedure. I thank you."
