    "content": "achieved its intended purpose, then there is need to restructure the youth fund so that it becomes useful to the youth in Nairobi as well as to those in the village. Since we are saying that 30 per cent of Government procurement must go to the youth and women, then we must ensure that we prepare our young people adequately so that first of all, they are able to register companies that can do business with the Government. Secondly, we need to reduce the amount of bureaucracy between business people and the Government so that young people can access that business without being unnecessarily burdened with bureaucracy and are unable to tender for Government business. Thirdly, we need to improve the capacity of young people to understand the procurement process that is in the Government. We are looking forward to the amendment to the Procurement Act so that we ensure that it becomes law and not just a policy statement; a law that will allow 30 per cent of Government business to go to young people and women. However, I think that 30 per cent is still low considering that it is for the youth and women. We would like it to be at 40 per cent."
