    "content": "The Motion that has been brought by hon. Njenga says that when the youth complete Form Four, instead of rotting in the villages, we need to create a fund that is similar to the CDF so that fees can be paid for them and so they can join polytechnics. We know village polytechnics nowadays are going to be run by county governments but what we are requesting in this Motion is for us to facilitate them so that they can join those polytechnics instead of drinking chang’aa and busaa in the villages after completing Form Four. The CDF has already done a very good job. We must commend the CDF in terms of paying school fees for secondary and tertiary students including universities. Many of the people who are in higher education in the villages have done so through CDF bursaries. The HELB, I do not know whether it is overwhelmed or their policies are not correct, but many of our people cannot access their loans. Maybe they are overstretched; they could be having a lot in their hands but the CDF has helped many people to join polytechnics, universities and colleges of higher education. So we need to create a fund that is similar to the CDF bursary scheme so that we help out youth to join those colleges."
