It states a percentage of the national revenue to be set aside for the Equalisation Fund. I want us to put the record straight so that, if I heard it wrong, then we can go back for my dear sister, Sen. Tabitha Mutinda, to clarify that point. view
• 7 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Early Childhood Education (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.54 of 2023).

Kajwang’ has raised pertinent issues, which brought your Chair to direct us not to continue contributing to this debate on whether to confirm these two individuals or to stand down the Report.
