This is because we have not heard of any projects under the Equalisation Fund in the previous Appropriation Bills. These are the questions which we need answers for not the MPs coming and taking whatever is there for their use. So, we would like to know how much has been allocated to-date and how it has been spent. I believe when this Constitution started being implemented, this article was being implemented. Each Financial Year, from 2010/2011 or 2011/2012, there must have been some 0.5 per cent of the budget that was being set aside for Equalisation Fund. How much is it? Where is it? What plans are there for it to be spent? What we have now is a way of giving it to the constituencies. If this goes through, then we will not even know the history of the previous years what was done to that fund. Allow me to reiterate that I vehemently oppose this Bill. If anybody is to come up with any amendments, then it should be in enhancing the allocation so that more parts of this country can benefit from this Fund. Thank you."
