    "content": "better. I support the intentional move by the Budget and Appropriations Committee to allocate more funds in areas where young people may benefit through job creation, as well as the value- addition sectors and processing, which have been given more attention and funding. The school feeding program, which has received Ksh3 billion, is a positive development. Additionally, the intentional move to add more resources to TVETs and the Kenya Medical Training Colleges (KMTCs) will accommodate more young people. The Ultra-modern Tuna Fish Hub in Liwatoni and other ventures have also received increased funding. While I appreciate that the young people have been given the opportunity to engage in projects, I am concerned because when the current President was the Vice-President, he pledged to provide milk coolers to most of the farmers in our villages, including Githunguri Constituency. We understand that there might have been funding issues because those promises remain unfulfilled. Nevertheless, this proposal has allocated Ksh2 billion to purchase milk coolers, which is a positive development. Not because the farmers do not have coolers, but because more coolers mean more opportunities for our farmers and creation of jobs for the young people."
