    "content": "there should be an audit query or an audit report on the misuse of special funds by people, specifically Kenyans, whose charge has been put to these special funds. What I am asking is: why are Kenyans stealing from the poor? Why are we stealing from the poor? Why are Kenyans enriching themselves at the expense of people who we are supposed to take care of, as leadership at whatever echelon of leadership? We have special funds that are established by law and policy to take care of special needs. I would not say that we need to merge Uwezo Fund together with Women Enterprise Fund, Youth Enterprise Development Fund, Strategic Food Reserve Fund, Equalisation Fund, National Youth Service or Civil Servants Housing Scheme Fund. We cannot merge so that we have a bigger Fund for the imbeciles who position themselves to steal from poor Kenyans. In any case, if we must merge these Funds, we can only merge them so that we can apportion part of these Funds to subsidise education which is going to be unaffordable for poor Kenyan children. The higher education and middle-level education is being structured through reforms such that the ordinary poor Kenyan from Rangwe Constituency is not going to study Civil Engineering or become an architect. Let us merge these Funds instead of us having them stolen by some morons. Put it together with the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and let them give us this money we distribute to poor Kenyans as bursaries. We have young people in this country who require the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. Allow me to laud one youth who is showing large signs of being a sure leader of today and not tomorrow: Mercy Tarus, who has come out to tell people who are stealing from the poor on their face that they are smooth liars; that they lie with innocent smooth faces. Mercy Tarus, I want to go on record as the Member of Parliament for Rangwe Constituency to urge you to fight for the young people. Create your space. You said that you sell uji . Mercy Tarus, go to the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and they are going to give you a loan. Enlarge your"
