    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last year, we employed 1,000 youth polytechnic instructors through the Public Service Commission. This means that in the nearly 1,000 registered youth polytechnics in Kenya which are publicly owned, we deployed on average an instructor. Additionally, there has been the programme of top up grants for instructors employed by the board of governors. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government cannot sufficiently and adequately given the budget that this House itself approved for my Ministry meet the totality of the requirement 100 per cent of the youth polytechnic cash. This is actually my seventh time answering such a Question and making this plea. Could Members of Parliament, please, in their CDF bursary budget, ensure that they allocate students in youth polytechnics some money, so that the same resources combined with the allocation from the Ministry can actually help youth polytechnics to put additional trainees whom we were unable because of budgetary constraints to contract among the 1,000? It is doable. I think this message needs to sink in. Members of Parliament need to put money in youth polytechnics In Mukurweini Constituency, we have 900 students freshly admitted in youth polytechnics this year. All of them have their fee fully paid by the Mukurweini Constituency bursary. So, we are preaching wine and taking the same!"
