    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I think the writing is on the wall. We all feel that we are marginalised. I think there are areas which have been marginalised since Independence and that is what the Constitution attempted to cure. If we are trying to gerrymander the poor, marginalised and almost making it a token for counties which are marginalised to get trickle down support, then we are violating the Constitution which Members of this House took oath to protect. I thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee, particularly the Chairman. For the first time, he has listened to the Members. Members have a clear conversation on the things that are affecting them as the representatives of the people. We hear from people from Nairobi that there are areas that are marginalised. It is the same thing in Kiambu, Murang’a, Nakuru and Meru. I almost think that is self-inflicted marginalisation."
