Temporary Deputy Speaker, we must put a Monitoring and Evaluation (M and E) framework in place, so that we are able to follow up projects in order to make them a success. When you look at this, the issue of SACCOS is very critical. We can have a clear framework with the co-operatives, so that these funds can be channeled through these SACCOS; this is very easy because SACCOS have something called FOSAs. Some of these people might not be able to go to banks. I am also telling this House that we should not go for the six months; we should allow one month, as it is good enough for people to do business. It is not an issue of how long you have been there; if we are going to have M and E framework we are going to know the returns. We want this Fund to be replenished yearly. If at all it is going to work fairly well, I call upon this House to even increase the funding."}
