    "content": "What is very important and key, even as you look at that, other scholars came and said that you could have very high GDP, but you must look at the levels of various indexes which are important in ascertaining these inequalities and these begins to be used as a basis. One of these is a human development index which now looks at the value of the human beings; economic, social, education and health. This is very important, so that GDP does not become the main driving index. Again, we have disparities here. We have an index that is 0:1 human development index. The closer to one, the better human development index you have. Again, we have a variation and it becomes a problem. I just picked a few figures from the various regions where the former Central Province is placed at 0.6 per cent, which means that they are relatively not doing badly in terms of education, health, et cetera. You cannot compare it to Turkana County, for example, whose HDI is at 0.33 per cent. So, again, it becomes a challenge even for the implementation of this Bill to already infuse in our thought systems that the levels of development within the various counties will be different. I would like to inform Sen. Halake that this might be an area where even as you engage with the Commission--- We are talking about the Equalization Fund The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
