"content": "they consume it. However, if you give them skills, they will not beg for money; instead they will have something to do. In my constituency we have a lot of natural resources. We have bananas, avocadoes, sugarcane and so on. Our problem is value addition. My brother from Gatundu North knows all his people come, take the bananas and use them to make money in Nairobi. I want these bananas to leave Keumbu, which is the biggest banana market in East Africa, as a finished product. You can only do that if you empower the youth at the village polytechnic. It is high time this Motion was supported by everybody and fast- tracked to be a Bill to make sure that the CDF benefits from this and develops our constituencies. The red tape in accessing money from the central Government is so difficult. The Government must agree to devolve funds because devolution is a reality. We are not going back. The bulk of the money will go to the Governor; we want a lot of resources at the grassroots for easy access. I support this Motion and urge the House to take it as a priority."
