    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was referring to the letter of 11th October and I will quote:- “In that regard, the Office of the Prime Minister, after consultation with the World Bank would like to request the Treasury to cancel this component of Kshs4.3 billion that should have gone to the youth of this country”. They are also asking that after this money has been returned to the Treasury, the World Bank and the Office of the Prime Minister intends to refund all the World Bank financing as well as the credit and associated grant. The Office of the Prime Minister will work with the implementing line Ministries and the Treasury to enable a repayment of this as soon as possible. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is no denial that there has been some loss. There is no denial that there was lack of controls. There is no denial that because these weaknesses noticed by this House way back in 2009 and having asked the Prime Minister as the one in charge of the KKV--- In fact, I looked at the operation manual and it is signed by the Right Hon. Prime Minister, Chairman KKV National Steering Committee. He himself has told the House that the role of the Office of the Prime Minister in KKV was co- ordination, oversight, monitoring, policy and, in fact, it was the implementing agent. Therefore, the issue of putting controls, the necessary regulations and policy lay squarely in his hands. In the circumstances, it is clear that we are returning Kshs4.3 billion to the World Bank that the young people of this country could have utilized."
