We must insist, as recommended by the Committee, that this policy be tabled and adopted by this House so that if there are regions that warrant qualification under Equalisation Fund and are currently not benefiting, they can benefit. I looked at the 14 counties that are benefiting from this Fund. You can see there are many deserving areas, including pockets of Kiambu like in Ndeiya and Gatuanyaga that border Yatta and Kitui counties that have the same geographical dispersions and same conditions as those marginalised areas. There are areas in Kitui, Laikipia and Ukambani that are not benefitting. There are parts of Makueni and Kajiado counties that have suffered. I know this is an emotive issue, but I am just mentioning these issues so that Members can get interest. We have areas in Nyando and Kiptororo...."
