    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that the National Hygiene Programme (NHP), dubbed Kazi Mtaani, is a national initiative that was designed to cushion the most vulnerable but able-bodied citizens living in informal settlements from the effects and response strategies of the COVID-19 pandemic; acknowledging that the first phase of the programme started in April 2020 covering eight counties employing over 26,000 workers, while the second phase which began in July 2020 was expanded to cover 34 counties employing over 200,000 workers and was expected to run for six and a half months; appreciating that the programme continues to gradually achieve most of its objectives which include, amongst others, provision of economic empowerment to the youth, prioritisation of labour-intensive approaches to Extended Public Works Projects (EPWPs) and utilisation of local suppliers while giving preference to locally manufactured goods and services; cognisant of the fact that the programme has greatly assisted in the reduction of social vices that arise as a result of poverty and idleness such as drug abuse and emergence of criminal gangs; concerned that the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic are still prevalent and the country will take a long time for the economy to restabilise; this House, therefore, resolves that the national Government rolls out subsequent phases of the Kazi Mtaani Programme to cover all the 47 counties to address youth unemployment and further cushion the vulnerable members of society, and reviews the current remuneration of the workers in accordance with the Wage Order of 2018.
