    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member will appreciate that the airplane actually managed to land in Mfangano Island, where I trained the youth even before the vehicle reached the island, which is in his own constituency. Having said that, I would like to add that the disbursement of the Youth Enterprise Development Fund money through the constituencies has exceeded 80 per cent. By last week, we had signed off over 5,000 groups. Applications are still coming in, and we are processing them. So, that has been very successful. I am sure that, by now, most constituencies have received money for their youth. Regarding disbursement of the money by the microfinance institutions, I do not have the details with me because this issue does not relate to the Question brought by the hon. Member earlier. However, I will be able to table the details later. I know that close to 50 per cent of the Kshs690 million that we channelled through the microfinance institutions has been disbursed. I know one microfinance institution which has already trained over 8,000 groups and disbursed over Kshs25 million. In order to get a detailed picture, I probably need up to next week to be able to table the amounts disbursed by the various microfinance institutions and the groups that may have received the money. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."
