Homa Bay County was not a beneficiary in the First Generation Marginalization Policy. I am happy that in the Second Generation Marginalization Policy, Homa Bay County is among the 34 counties that will benefit. Homa Bay County has got about 20 locations that are going to benefit from these funds.

In Suba North, for example, the people of Kayanja have been marginalized for a long time. The people of Usao and Soklo in Mfangano are going to get some money that will specifically be directed towards provision of water, doing roads and provision of electricity and health facilities in those areas.

When I look at areas like Ndhiwa Constituency, the people of Kabuoch North and Lokonyango locations are going to get access to the money. In Kanyamua, the people of Kwamo and Kwandiku locations are going to get the money. If you go to Kisumu where the distinguished Sen. Nyamunga comes from, the people of Nyando, Wang’anga, Anyuro, Nyangore and Obumba locations are going to get money.

The Controller of Budget (CoB) is another important constitutional entity. In Paragraph 44 on page 12, the CoB says that “a little more needed to be done for the regulations to work efficiently”.

Faki rightly sought the views of the CBK on those ...

Page 6 of this report has the composition of Equalization Fund Advisory Board. The Senate and the National Assembly have each a nominee. The problem I have is that the National Assembly has cast it in stone that their nominee shall be a pastoralist. We are still looking at Equalization Fund as a carrot for pastoralists. We are still looking at pastoralists as people who do not belong to this country such that we must extend certain favors and yet, they pay taxes.
