    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Before I answer this Question, I would like to thank the hon. Members of Parliament, who were able to attend our Kamukunji which we held last week. We really appreciated those who attended. We are organising another one because the attendance was not enough. I would like to encourage all hon. Members to attend so that such issues about youth polytechnics and the Fund could be clarified. However, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry has entered into an agreement with 21 financial intermediaries in Kenya to disburse the YEDF. The list is attached. I think the hon. Member has the answer. If they want us to enumerate all the 21 intermediaries, I am ready to do so. The list of financial intermediaries operational in Rift Valley Province are eight; Western Province, six; Coast Province, nine; and Nyanza Province, eight. The list is attached for the hon. Member's perusal. I am, therefore, not aware that a large part of the country is not covered. (b) The Ministry has posted Youth Officers to all districts and most divisions to deliver services to the youth in all parts of Kenya. Youth groups can easily access funds through the Constituency Youth Enterprise Scheme using widely available proposals and formats given out freely through the youth offices. No parts of the country are excluded and, therefore, eligible youth will access the funds."
