Mr. Speaker, Sir, key priority areas of our immediate attention include: rehabilitation and development of youth polytechnics, skill development, including through expanded admissions to the National Youth Service (NYS) and vocational training centres; and youth empowerment and participation especially through career fairs and leadership training, among others. Towards this end, I will be allocating a further Kshs105 million towards the rehabilitation and operations of at least one youth polytechnic in every constituency which will provide a start-up kit including working tools that will be accessible to all youth graduating from those village polytechnics."}
