I stand here to report, with great satisfaction, that the Government is making a steady progress in the implementation of the Kazi Kwa Vijana Programme which is also known as KKV.

The KKV was to employ young Kenyans to de-silt small dams and canals, construct rural access roads and paths and small boreholes, to plant trees and set up water kiosks among other activities. By offering job opportunities, the KKV is expected to contribute to lessening social tensions and to reducing crimes by offering jobs to the unemployed youths. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am pleased to report to the House that the KKV has been well received by our fellow citizens. The KKV has to date employed a total of more than 170,000 youths. This compares well with the target of employing between 200,000 and 300,000 youths. Under the KKV, numerous water dams, water pans, water kiosks and sewerage work for boreholes and irrigation schemes are being constructed. The KKV programme"
