    "content": "The other area that I wish to note the Committee considered is the drug menace. The drug menace particularly in the Coastal Region has been very high. Sometime back, His Excellency the President directed the Miritini National Youth Service Centre to be opened and rehabilitated so that the youth that are affected by the drug menace can actually be rehabilitated and brought to normal life. The Committee recommended that Kshs50 million be provided to have this centre operational. To enhance the fight against corruption, about Kshs150 million was provided so that the departments concerned, especially the DCI, can really focus. There is the Public Service Commission programme on internship and recruitment of interns. As you would note, in 2019/2020, this programme started and this House provided funds that have been able to take over 6,000 Kenyans for internship programmes. Through this programme, these youths were able to go through and get skills and experience necessary so that when opportunities in the public service arise, they are able to be placed. Therefore, this is a very important programme. During the last Budget, no funds were provided for the administration of this programme and the Committee considered Kshs100 million to be able to manage and carry out monitoring and evaluation and the general administration."
