this country. I have a record of the entire process. So, the Statement that has been given here is totally wrong. It is misleading the House. For that reason, we need to actually censure the Ministry.

Hon. Speaker, I do not know when the Cabinet Secretary will appear before the Committee. But they have already made a blunder by giving wrong information in the House. So, I do not know what sanctions should be taken against the Ministry. This is wrong information.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. When you look at the body language of the Chairman, you can tell that this is not his message. I agree with him. Let the Cabinet Secretary be called to the Committee. Let the Committee table the Report. I will go and present the position because when you hear this message--- Promotions were done on 4th June, letters came in August appointing those men. These two positions are new; Orinie and Impiro. In Impiro, the candidate was a lady and because those gentlemen, who are said to be political losers did not want her, they started ...

Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this very important Bill. From the outset, I would like to thank the Mover, hon. Lelelit, for bringing this very important Bill, which affects the most marginalized people of this Republic. The Equalization Fund, as indicated in the Constitution, should have 0.5 per cent of our revenues. It is a very important provision that this Constitution made, so that the marginalized areas can be brought to the same standard with the rest of the country. The marginalized areas are very many. It is amazing ...

Let me come back to the main point of this Bill. I want to condemn in the strongest terms the CRA, because the formula they are using is to permanently marginalize some areas. I personally went to talk to this Commission; they said Kajiado is one of the richest counties in the Republic, but it has the most undeveloped areas in this Republic.

When you look around in the Chamber now, the majority of the ...

We insist that the constituencies will be the most appropriate areas to disburse this Fund. The issue of roads and water--- I can assure you that from my experience in my former career, I have been to Turkana and upper North Eastern, in Moyale, Kibish, Butel, Kadaduma, Banisa and Lamu. These are areas you cannot easily reach. I am sure you are wondering whether the areas I am talking about are in Kenya. We want this money to really help our people. The Leader of Majority Party said that civilization ends on the other side of Tana River. When you ...
