    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I support the Petition. The Equalisation Fund initially comprised of 14 counties. The CRA without proper consultation of the initial counties expanded it to cover 21 counties. What is glaring is that Taita Taveta was among the initial 14 counties. If the counties to be covered were expanded, how do you exclude those who were there before and bring in new players? The initial 14 counties have not even benefited from the first equalisation phase. The Equalisation Fund cumulatively is projected to be around Kshs21 billion. Even Kshs2 billion has not been exhausted. We now have issues of expanding it to cover more than 21 counties. How fair is the CRA? Have we conducted research on what has been done on the first tranche of the Equalisation Fund? I am aware because I come from one of the counties that was a beneficiary of the Equalisation Fund that nothing tangible has been done in the counties so far."
