    "content": "the rule of law is disregarded. All the values in the Constitution are thrown away. They are not followed and at times you wonder whether you have a Government. The Government should enforce law and order. We have to worry a lot when that is not happening. The new Constitution has tried to rectify the problem of the areas that were marginalized before through devolution. At least, every area in this country is being allocated resources. The marginalized areas will get additional resources from the Equalization Fund. The question we should ask ourselves is whether this is rectifying the situation because some counties have received large amounts of money. Has there been any change in the lives of those who are supposed to benefit? Or, is graft taking the greater part of that revenue? We have seen in the Auditor-General’s Report that the money that is supposed to go towards transforming the lives of Kenyans finding its way into individuals’ pockets. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, jobs should be equitably distributed. It should not be one or two tribes getting all the jobs and others not getting. If we do not share these resources equitably, we will make the situation worse. We will go far if everybody who is involved can look into this and put in the correct measures to remedy the situation. Therefore, I support. I hope that this Motion will go a long way in rectifying the situation that we have had."
