    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Division of Revenue Bill. I know it holds the fate of what happens next in the next 12 months. What is of interest to me and Members from the 14 counties is the Equalisation Fund. I know this is something before the Senate. I want to believe that once it is resolved, it is something that we need to come up with regulation and ensure that the Kshs6 billion allocated to this Fund is going to be realised and do the right thing. This is a constitutional issue which to me, is going to change the livelihoods because it is going to give a comparative advantage to the 14 counties in relation to other counties for a period of 20 years. The procurement of modern security equipment is a necessity as long it is going to reduce incidents of insecurity particularly the regions that we have had this kind of instability. We know that once our nation is secure, we shall have a sure way of enhancing our economy and accordingly ensure that all sectors of economy grow. I also want to state the investment on school infrastructure which is not carefully budgeted here, it is still a commitment. It is something that we need to invest in because quite a lot of infrastructure is dilapidated and there needs to be a lot of focus from the national Government, particularly investment in primary schools. Most of the governors do not put this as an interest and something that will improve the quality of lives of the people.
