    "content": "I want to draw our attention to an important concern. Today, we have clarity or a clear indication of the areas that are deemed to be marginalised based on the very grounds that are very well spelt out not only in the Constitution, but also in the Survey Report of the CRA. I want to draw our attention to the important need to continue to debate and understand a little bit that we might need to revise what we see and deem as the marginalised areas. I support that we must ensure that those areas that are disadvantaged on national access of growth and are not close enough to the decision-making processes are given the Equalization Fund. As the Seconder of the Bill indicated, those areas sometimes do not even have their voice as other communities because they are seen to be so far removed from the national axis and central position. However, I want to indicate that when we consider the kind of areas that we have spelled out precisely on those grounds, we will see that it is possible that whereas we have already identified and listed very clear areas that need to be taken care of by this special purpose Fund, there are very specific areas that we have listed only as counties that need to be given that catch up-Fund."
