    "content": "I have gone through this Report and I am surprised that in climate-smart agriculture, my county is missing in that allocation yet my county is agriculturally rich. I expected that there would be some allocation. I also notice that in urban development, whereas some counties were allocated under Kshs50 million, we have other counties getting over Khshs1 billion. If I go to the Kenya Urban Roads Authority, I may find that the same counties have a greater share. They have a greater share when it comes to development partners and our development kitty. This will cause great disparity in the long-run. I have always argued that we need to re-look at resource allocation in our country because I have noticed that some of the counties that benefit more from development partners are the same counties that get the Equalisation Fund. They are classified as Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) therefore they get all these resources converging to them at the expense of other counties."
