You can imagine a project of Kshs50,000 which brings together 10 youth; what is it that 10 youth can do with Kshs50,000 that can translate into profits? There are funny jokes like buying a grade cow; a grade cow for ten people? Fine, you will get a good heifer for Kshs50,000; but think about it. If one cow takes nine months of gestation, then it remains with milk together with the nine months of gestation, it takes around three years before it calves again. It means that you need 30 years to have 10 calves to go around the ten boys, girls or women. Are you going to ask the ten people to queue for 30 years before each of them gets a share of a calf? So, this money we are giving is meaningless. Either the Government wants to support our women and youth through enterprise funds or it does not. If it wants, the issue of lip service and double speak to poor Kenyans should stop. The President should say “I have resources; I am going to step up the enterprise funds by that much,” so that the money actually passed over to the people is reasonable. The money is there. I can give them an example of where to get the money from. The Kshs68 billion, for example, which is being given to the Ministry of Devolution; that is money which is going to be wasted in hotels doing conferences, breakfast talks and stuff like that by that Ministry. It will add nothing to devolution. That money can be taken and be put into the enterprise funds and it will be used to change the way of life of our people. The young lady who was given the privilege of being the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution can be given some other little job in the Ministry so that, that job is left for governors, because we have confidence in them---"
