    "content": "Special programmes for ASAL in the proposed Budget will go a long way to begin to redress the serious regional disparity that has emerged in the country. To ensure the speedy and focused implementation of the special ASAL programmes, a Ministerial Committee will be constituted under my chairmanship with the Ministry for Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands acting as the secretariat. Under the leadership of the Ministerial Committee, we will create an ASAL Investment Fund and an ASAL Education Trust to channel financial and technical resources of private enterprises, NGOs and civil society to the regions. The proposed Budget allocates a large amount of resources to a number of line Ministries, specifically earmarked for projects that are geared primarily for employing the youth. The Ministerial Committee chaired by the Prime Minister will continue to guard the implementation of these projects. A particular focus will be to mobilize the private sector for employment of skilled labour. A number of internship programmes have already been arranged through KEPSA, funded by the World Bank. I am pleased that several donors have expressed interest in joining our endeavour. With the Government,"
