"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Twenty youth groups from Limuru Constituency have received Kshs50,000 each from the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) through the Constituency Youth Enterprise Scheme Fund (CYDEF). The CYDEF lends money to youth groups; individuals below 35 years and above 18 years of age. The youths in Limuru are also able to access loans as individuals, companies or groups from the financial intermediaries partnering with the YEDF and operating in the constituencies. Another Kshs1 million was allocated to every constituency in the Republic, including Limuru, for on-lending to youth groups. I am sure applications for these funds are being processed by the Divisional Youth Enterprises Fund Committee. (b) The Ministry is exploring possibilities of using the youth credit methods such as Posta Pay and M-Pesa to ensure that the ongoing businesses as well as the needy youths without bank accounts access these funds."
