    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the year 2006/2007, the money which was allocated to the YEDF was Kshs1 billion. Each constituency, out of the 210 constituencies, got Kshs1 million. To this day, the banks which were appointed as financial intermediaries to keep the difference have made the conditions so difficult for the youth to access the money. This is because they are being asked for security and things they cannot offer. Therefore, the effect of the YEDF has not been felt on the ground. If you go to the ground and ask the youth if they have received any money, they will tell you that they have received nothing. They have not even received the Kshs1 million, let alone the case of Masinga Constituency where they have received Kshs600,000. This is because of these stringent conditions. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, would it not be in order for the Minister to simplify all that? Could the Minister not consider a one-stop shop in each constituency such that money from the YEDF can be lumped together with the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money so that the youth can access their money just the same way they have been accessing the CDF money?"
