    "content": "Curriculum (CBC). However, when you talk to them very keenly, they are only complaining about being required to help their children do their homework. It is also expensive. I would rather ask those who have been charged with this duty of looking at the reforms required in education to consult widely, especially with the head teachers’ association and its major stakeholders. That is to say that if you bring reforms, it will not take us less than 20 years to review the education system. I also urge Members of Parliament to ensure that the reform matter is only brought to this House when there is need to do so. That is so that we debate it properly before we enact it into law. When the President talked about the hustlers’ fund, I went and looked at the various funds that we already have. Today I saw the Member of Parliament for Matungulu, Hon. Mutinda, has already brought a Bill to look at some of these funds so that we ground them in law. I think he has written to the Speaker. I have seen that he has written about the NG-CDF, the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) for women, the Uwezo Fund, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and the hustlers’ fund. The hustlers’ fund should not be merged with Uwezo Fund. Uwezo Fund has been used especially in slum areas. This is what has helped people to start their small and micro businesses. The hustlers’ fund will receive around Kshs50 billion. When we spread this to all the constituencies it will have a big impact, especially to the young entrepreneurs. When we look at legislation, let us not combine the Uwezo Fund, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund, the NGAFF and the hustlers’ fund. Let them be treated differently so that we have more avenues for our young businessmen to grow."
