    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, coming to the issue of Kazi kwa Vijana programme, I appreciate that this was a very good initiative, which I supported even in the Cabinet. This is a good initiative through which the Government has committed itself to spend Kshs15 billion. I would agree with the hon. Members who have said that programme must go to the constituencies. This is what I said, and what I will keep on saying, whether I am a Minister or the Member of Parliament for Butere Constituency. With Kshs15 billion, each constituency is likely to get about Kshs75 million. If each constituency gets Kshs75 million, we will employ so many youths, instead of channeling this money through a few Ministries. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my own Ministry has been allocated Kshs43 million to monitor the implementation of this project. The correct route is to have this money utilized through the constituencies. I will keep on saying so. Coming to Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) projects, I appreciate the fact that the CDF has done very well in this country. As you know, hon. Members, through Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are some development partners who do not like the CDF. As Members of Parliament, let us assert our authority to make sure"
