    "content": "programme. However, they have not received the actual money to do the work. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government should also try to simplify the work the youths are going to do. I want to give examples of two projects meant to be undertaken under the Kazi Kwa Vijana programme. One is the construction of roads and, second, de-silting or construction of dams. What surprises me most is the fact that the youth are not going to be provided with tools to do the work. It is very difficult to tell the youth that, \"You are employed to construct this road\" yet you do not provide them with the tools to do it. You tell them: \"You are employed to do this dam\" and yet you do not provide them with the tools to do the dam. I do not know the tools they are going to use to achieve that exercise. Finally, I cannot conclude my contribution without mentioning my Ministry. This is the Ministry of Regional Development Authority. This is a very important Ministry. It can correct the inequitable regional development in our country if given adequate resources. It is a Ministry that is supposed to harness resources such as rivers and build dams that can be used for irrigation and other purposes. This can assist in increasing food production and saving this country with respect to food security. However, very little resources have always been given to the Ministry. I would kindly ask the Treasury to consider increasing the allocation of funds to this Ministry. I am happy that just yesterday, this House passed the Financial Management Bill, which is going to give this House a say in allocation of resources with respect to Budget preparation. With that consideration, I am sure this House will be taking note of the importance of Ministries with respect to service delivery to wananchi. I beg to support."
