    "content": "This Constitution was negotiated for all Kenyans. As I stand up, I express my concern that counties like Kakamega where 56 per cent of the population that live below the poverty line have never benefited from the Equalisation Fund. It is my humble submission that the Commission on Revenue Allocation needs to begin to check and study the kind of parameters that it is using in order to understand deeply how we are going to divide the monies in this Equalisation Fund. Clearly, in a county like Kakamega, which does not suffer from drought, there must be issues like infrastructure and value chains that are probably not put in place. Indeed, we need to improve the quality of services in a county like Kakamega. It is not only Kakamega, even close to Nairobi there are counties in which hundreds of thousands of people live below the poverty line. With those few remarks, I support."
