    "content": "As I end, I want to remind Members that this Sessional Paper gives us a platform for budgeting and gender mainstreaming like what Hon. Nyikal said. It is very important for us to be seized of the matters that are ongoing currently, especially in regard to the affirmative funds which are there like the Youth Enterprise Development Fund, the Women Enterprise Fund and the Uwezo Fund. I heard a very valid point here. When you look at all those Funds, they leave one gender of a certain age out. The men who are 35 years old are not captured anywhere. As we move forward, it is an issue that we need to address. We also want to persuade this House because this Policy must be implemented. I like the suggestions which we will pick from Hon. Nyikal on monitoring, evaluation and getting gender data report from all State departments and sectors. That is very strong. We will pick it up. Hon. Members, the budget of the implementation of this Policy was Kshs500 million, but we appropriated only Kshs15 million. When the Supplementary Budget is brought to the House, let us look at this document which we have supported well. We should look at it in a manner that we are going to put enough money to implement, monitor and evaluate how successful it is."
