    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. With your indulgence, I am getting an opportunity to speak on this touchy Motion on equalisation. I have been sitting here for quite long - the whole afternoon - waiting for this opportunity. I am very proud Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee this afternoon. We are able to discuss matters that are very close to the hearts of the residents of the 14 counties. Because of time, I will want to shorten my contribution on this matter. Many Members feel that we must have quorum to pass this appropriation Bill on equalisation. It is so important to the 14 counties. That is why, if you look across this House this afternoon, majority of us who have been sitting here are Members from the 14 counties. I have clearly heard how Members who do not come from the 14 counties have been talking. I have heard my sister, Hon. Millie Odhiambo, passionately appealing to the House to look at marginalised pockets in areas that were not initially covered. This is one thing that as a country we must be serious on."
