    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I appreciate the amendments that are being moved. The spirit here is to ensure that the marginalised communities have a say. You may end up having a board where all the Principal Secretaries — and they come with all their powers — sit. You then reduce the number of people that are appointed to represent the marginalised communities who are fewer. You realise that the interests of these people… Look at (a) to (f). Probably the people to be appointed by the Principal Secretaries may not necessarily come from marginalised communities. You will have a board that is heavy on the other side. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would also like to refer you to one thing. During the constitutional review process when this Equalisation Fund was being put in the Constitution, there was a lot of hue and cry from the people who do not come from the marginalised communities. Actually, if people did not fight for the Equalisation Fund, it would not be in the Constitution. Right now, we are doing a Bill and making amendments that dilute the purpose for which we have the Equalisation Fund.
