    "content": "Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2)( c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology regarding the deployment of District Youth Training Officers across the country. The Directorate of Youth Training under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is charged with posting District Youth Training Officers across the country. However, since May this year, some districts in Machakos, Makueni, Kitui and Mwingi have been without the officers. The officers are in charge of crucial functions such as co-ordinating the youth training programmes, equipping, funding and construction of hostels and workshops in youth polytechnics. Therefore, their absence has greatly affected the effective co-ordination of the local youth training programmes with the national Government policies in the said districts. In the Statement, the chairperson should inquire into and report on one, when the District Youth Training officers will be posted to the districts currently lacking the officers, and also interim measures the Government has put in place to ensure there is no interruption of the crucial functions executed by the officers."
