    "content": "IDs which belonged to other family members. Some youths had blocked or frozen numbers due to having taken Fuliza loans from Safaricom. In Mvita Constituency, the Kazi Mtaani initiative has engaged a total of 3,500 youths from Kaa Chonjo informal settlement and Old Town. The programme engaged 2,000 youths from Kaa Chonjo and 1,500 youths from Old Town. Regarding the second question, on measures the Ministry has put in place to ensure that youths are regularly paid without delay, telephone mobile money transfer companies have since been prevailed upon to allow payments through telephone numbers presented regardless of mismatch with the national ID numbers provided as these workers are able to fill-in indemnity forms. Also, the Ministry has employed supervisors at the county-level to manage attendance and preparation of payrolls. We have managed to engage one supervisor for every 20 workers to manage the work flow and expedite the process. Payrolls are submitted for payment every Wednesday. Finally, as to whether the Cabinet Secretary is aware that the youths have not been provided with PPEs, we confirm that the youths have been provided PPEs, which include gumboots, face masks, heavy duty gloves and reflector jackets with clear guidelines on observation of Ministry of Health protocols on COVID-19. However, we noted that some youths in some areas in Mombasa and Mandera do not put on some PPE items, particularly gumboots due to weather conditions, but we are enforcing this through the National Government Administrative Officers (NGAO), National Youth Service (NYS) personnel and Nyumba Kumi supervisors. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
