    "content": "The Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) gives youth money to start their own enterprises. However, some youth apply for the money but they are not given. In my constituency, I have a big problem where the Ministry came in and recruited so many youth who had to cough Ksh1, 500 per youth to get a certificate that would enable them get that money. Unfortunately, once that was done they did not get the same money and now they blame the MP who is me or other leaders for not having got the money while it is the system which is not working in tandem with the numbers of the youth that we have.

Some offices have been closed, industries are not working and getting revenue from the few people who are working necessitates that you increase taxes left, right and center. Look at the education sector. We are training teachers but not employing them. The other day they closed colleges that train P1 teachers. Initially they were training a lot of teachers but at the end of the day not employing them. They are given TSC numbers to just keep them. In my constituency I have got people who got their certificates in Education way back in 2009/2010 and to date they have not been employed. They are growing old and they have no guarantee that they will be employed. When you go to our schools, you find that there are so many schools which are The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
