We are looking for systems and regulations, but I am also considering that we have the Women Enterprise Development Fund (WEDF) and the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF). I would like that this House considers merging all these funds to become Uwezo Fund, which will be a fund that we will contribute to annually.

The other thing is that these funds create employment and bring Kenya to the culture of working to break from the vicious circle of poverty and all that. It is my own appeal that instead of giving these funds through the banks, because banks will come in as agents, we give this money directly. I would advise hon.
