    "content": "The Equalisation Fund is established under Article 204 of the Constitution and this particular Article provides that a half per cent of all the revenues collected by the national Government each year, calculated on the basis of the most recently audited accounts, be made available especially to the marginalised areas. These areas are determined by the Commission on Revenue Authority (CRA). This Authority is obligated by law to determine, publish and also regularly review the policy that it used to determine the criteria of these marginalised areas. I am happy to say that this policy was approved by Parliament in December 2014 and has a policy that will govern financial years 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and this year ending June 2017. The areas identified by CRA at that time were 14 counties beginning with Turkana, Mandera, Wajir, Marsabit, Samburu, Pokot, Tana River, Narok, Kwale, Garissa, Kilifi, Taita Taveta, Isiolo and Lamu. All in all, Kshs12.4 billion is being appropriated. The money for this financial year is Kshs6.6 billion and the amount brought forward, reflected a balance of Kshs6.4 billion totalling to Kshs12.4 billion. Of that money, using the framework that we used in 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."
