    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the interest of time, I will be extremely brief because I have only two points to make. I agree with the Senator who has just spoken. This allocation of resources by the CRA should be geared towards correcting the disparities in development that exist today. It is 52 years after Independence and some counties are reeling with underdevelopment. There is poor infrastructure. Even today there are counties without even a single tarmac road, yet we see roads crisscrossing some counties here and there. Therefore, this formula does not address that issue. Secondly, from the beginning I raised the issue of the Equalization Fund. On behalf of the Senator for Baringo County, I also voiced the concern that Kitui County and Baringo County were cut off deliberately, when we know that those two counties deserve a share of the Equalization Fund. I am sure that Elgeyo-Marakwet County also falls in that line, if they are not receiving those funds. I request that we be given a report even before we approve this, on what has become of the recommendations on the Equalization Fund. Kitui County deserves and demands part of the Fund in this financial year. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to oppose."
