"content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support this Motion. First of all, I must also confirm that I know Prof. Edward Oyugi. He was one of my mentors before I joined politics. I have no doubt that he is equal to the task. I also want to say two things on the work of this commission. The two main functions of this commission include strengthening devolution by deciding the amount of revenue that should be shared among the 47 counties. The commission is expected to come up with a formula. Another very important function is deciding which counties should get shares of the Equalisation Fund. That is where I come in. With the help of the poverty indices of the various counties, they are supposed to come up with a general formula on which countries should benefit from the Equalisation Fund. I was very disappointed with the outgoing Commission whose term is ending on 31st of this month. This is because they left out some very crucial counties especially Kajiado County which is an Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) county, from benefitting from the Equalisation The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
