Hon. Farah Maalim, you should be listening to Hon. Gichimu Githinji. This is a top lawyer and the distinction he is making is very critical. Remember funds are given to the people. So, in as much as we are talking about a marginalised area, you do not give funds to areas, you give to the people. So, he is saying you need to listen to him draw the distinction between marginalised group and marginalised community. Why the fund in terms of the definition of marginalised area should borrow from marginalised community. Proceed, because this is important for all Members.

I request you to read the whole of Article 260(a) to (d) and use the ejusdem generis means of interpretation, looking at the kind of communities that come under the genres mentioned here. Further, tell us the kind of communities that could be included here. So I am giving you time, and even add you more. Read the whole definition, and then using the ejusdem generis, guide the House on the communities that would be targeted by the Equalisation Fund.

You have already read Article 260(a). Kindly help the House with the reading of (b), (c), and (d). If you read all of them, there is a thread running through the communities being spoken to, which would be useful to the House The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Hon. Farah, in as much as you are saying point of order, you would agree with Hon. Gichimu that if you were to talk about Tharaka Nithi County and send Equalisation Fund to be managed by the county, that money would go to the Nithi side, which may not be marginalised. That money would rightly be targeting the southern part of Tharaka, but not the Nithi side. Nithi is very green on the side towards Nyeri.
