    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I also want to say that this is a very important matter. I would like to tell the hon. Prime Minister that when we ask questions, it does not mean that we are not interested in the programme. We really want this programme to succeed because we have youths in our constituencies. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister has actually confirmed in the value for money audit report that money was lost. I think that is not in doubt now. Hon. Namwamba, somehow, wants to downplay the amount that has been lost by talking about percentages. He has talked about 0.4 per cent. We are talking about Kshs300 million. If you give me Kshs300 million, I will run my constituency during the next term without requesting for Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money. That is good money. In this report which was tabled by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government entitled “ Project appraisal document on the proposed credit ”, one of the weaknesses which had been identified on this programme was possible co-ordination challenges for the Office of the Prime Minister. That has been confirmed by the loss so far in KKV II. Remember that the KKV II has just started. The Prime Minister has said that the expenditures that cannot be accounted for are either ineligible or irregularly applied and it does not mean that money has been lost. He has said that donor funds were used to pay for expenses which were not meant to be. Could the Prime Minister tell us where the Government money which was voted for such activities went to?"
