    "content": "We need to also recognise that there are areas in this country that still fall and qualify for the affirmative action and should be given the Equalization Fund. I am thinking of Migori County. I must say that I do not come from there. I come from Siaya County. However, I am aware that when I look at the kind of conditions and indicators that are presented in the Survey Report and the basis that determine a marginalised area, there are communities that are, for a number of reasons, not integrated in the social and economic life of Kenya as a whole. This is because they are still very deeply entrenched in their cultural practices. There are communities that are not included expressly as the beneficiaries of the Equalization Fund because of their geographic location and a number of reasons. We need to ensure that the structure of the Fund is put into effect. We want to revise and look into different parts of this country that might not have been captured. Sometimes, people look at the overall picture and they assume that they will find the circumstances that are in a broad county applicable to the very specific areas."
