    "content": "The other thing that I really wanted to bring out is the whole issue of pro-action, particularly in terms of what we do. Looking at the amount of funds that are getting to the local levels in the name of either devolution or CDF or many of these funds that are transferred, cumulatively, over Kshs40 billion will go to the youth and maybe the disabled, if you look at the issue of the 30 per cent. So, what is it that we want to put down for purposes of making sure that these funds get to the young people? This brings in the whole issue of how we want to monitor compliance. Monitoring compliance is still very weak and hon. Sakaja needs to hear this. The whole issue of monitoring compliance is difficult. What is it that we are able to do when you do not comply? What is it that the county governments will do, for example, because they have much more funds? The other thing is in terms of public knowledge and information. At the moment, if one wants to cross-check information in terms of what happens in their constituencies, even when it comes to the issue of KERA and awarding of roads, you realize that very few youth companies are in place. I was trying to cross-check this information in my place and I released that only three or four complied in terms of the requirements that are there. So, we need to do a lot of public education in this area. In conclusion, we need to decide whether we need to earmark certain projects that are either one off or taking short durations for the young people and the disability group. I can see the color has already turned red. Thank you."
