"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the umpteeth time, I want to explain, and I want the House to listen clearly. I have said that in this financial year, there was no specific allocation of money for the Kazi Kwa Vijana Programme. If you look at the Printed Estimates, you will not see an item there headed â Kazi kwa Vijana â. The Treasury, in its own wisdom, decided to cover this programme under the Economic Stimulus Programme through various Ministries; that is what is to be part of the Kazi Kwa Vijana Programme. We have discussed this matter very extensively with the Treasury, and they have agreed that in the coming Budget, an item will specifically be dedicated to the Kazi Kwa Vijana Programme. The Economic Stimulus Programme had Kshs30 billion allocated to it in this financial year. However, it took time to create the structures for the disbursement of those funds. Implementation of it included negotiations with hon. Members as to how best the money would be channeled. It took so long that by the time I made a Statement here, last month, out of the Kshs30 billion, only about Kshs4.5 billion had been disbursed. We hope that we will make use of the balance of the money in the period between now and June. If that does not happen, then that money will be rolled over in the next financial year."
