    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I support this Motion. I have heard Members referring clearly to the Constitution and urging the CRA that even as they are giving this allocation, they focus on the 14 counties and follow the Constitution. If you want to follow the Constitution, then we look at Article 204. I do not want to concentrate too much on that Article because it sets the Equalisation Fund. I want to go to the definition of “marginalisation”. The Constitution defines marginalised community and marginalised group. Many of us are misreading the Constitution when we only read a part of it that describes populations. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Article 260, which is the interpretation of the Constitution says the following: “marginalised community” means— ( a ) a community that, because of its relatively small population or for any other reason, has been unable to fully participate in the integrated social and economic life of Kenya as a whole; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
