    "content": "The areas in which the Ministry requires Parliament to intervene include the allocation of funds for the Jua Kali sheds. In the 2000 Budget, the Government allocated Kshs300 million for construction of Jua Kali sheds in the constituencies. However, this funding has not been captured under the Ministry’s allocation for 2009/2010 Financial Year. One of the key mandates of the Ministry is co-ordination of development of micro and small enterprises, including development of infrastructure for the sector. The funds for construction of Jua Kali sheds in the constituencies, therefore, ought to be allocated to the Ministry. The Reproductivity Centre of Kenya is established under the Ministry as a private company under the Companies Act. This has made it difficult for the Government to finance its operations. The centre, therefore, lacks capacity to undertake any activities. In addition, the centre lacks an establishment. Hence, it is unable to recruit its own staff. Number three is the enactment of the Micro and Small Enterprises Bill to ensure legislative recognition and provide an appropriate legal framework supportive to the growth of micro and small enterprises sector. The Ministry is finalizing the MSE Bill as provided for in the Sessional Paper No.2 of 2005."
