• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to most sincerely thank my colleagues who have overwhelmingly supported this Bill. Almost 27 Members of Parliament have supported this Bill. There are some fears that have been raised here on the marginalisation policy which is supposed to be set out by the Commission on Revenue Allocation. I am happy that, that policy keeps changing because in the first policy that was done by the former Commission, constituencies like mine were not recognised as marginalised. However, with the development of the new policy, we will benefit from those funds. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: The Constitution talks about marginalised areas; it does not talk about marginalised counties as was put in the first policy.

• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this great opportunity. I beg to move that the Equalization Fund Bill (National Assembly Bill No.43 of 2019) be now read a Second Time. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: The Equalisation Fund is established under Article 204 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. Since its inception, the utilization of the Equalisation Fund has been wanting. Therefore, the rationale for coming up with this Bill is to expedite the operationalisation and expenditure of the funds in the Equalisation Fund. The obtaining situation on the ground is that of a hungry man looking at food on the table and is told that is his food but he is unable to access it. So, according to Kenyans, ni kama huyu mtu anakula hiyo chakula kwa macho . view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was just quoting. Before setting out the specific provisions of this Bill, it is important to understand the motivation behind this legislation. This is a special Fund which, according to the Constitution, is supposed to be a “catch-up fund” for the communities and regions that were left behind when the rest of the Republic was developing. This was either by design or default. view
