    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on that basis I strongly feel this Motion is unconstitutional and should not see the light of the day. Why am I saying that? First, which parameter will you use to show the part of the country that has been marginalized? I am not talking about marginalization; I am talking about poverty. Secondly, this survey determines 25 percent of resource allocation. Seventy five percent of resources is allocated on the basis of population. The issue they have is the 25 percent. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is the first survey that was ever done in the whole of northern Kenya since Independence. Before this survey, we were using poverty indicators. Since surveys have been done in Nyanza and other parts of this country, the poverty levels were seen to be high. When a survey was done nationally and poverty indicators were not used, this clearly established the real poverty levels in this nation. On this basis, I feel this Motion is unconstitutional and request your ruling before we continue to debate it. With that, I rest my case."
