Members of Parliament are advocating for the early disbandment of the Equalization Fund, citing a lack of tangible achievements and significant financial shortfalls. Originally established to bridge development gaps in marginalized counties, the fund is now under scrutiny for perceived mismanagement and delayed disbursements.

• An estimated Sh62.77 billion is owed to the Equalization Fund by the National Treasury, hindering its intended purpose.
• Members of Parliament, including Committee Chairperson Adan Yusuf Haji, have expressed frustration over stalled projects and the fund's limited impact.
• Challenges identified include underfunding, corruption, poor project planning, and delayed releases from the National Treasury, leading to calls for its scrapping five years ahead of its 2030 constitutional deadline.
