    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. In terms of Standing Order No.44(2)(c ), I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology concerning disbursement of the subsidized youth polytechnic tuition (SYPT) by the national Government, to youth polytechnics in the country. In 2006, the Cabinet appreciated the need to empower the youth and create employment by providing them with access to technical education and training at subsidized rates. They subsidized tuition to polytechnics at the rate of Kshs15,000 per student per year; those students who are dully registered at the youth polytechnics. The Government instructed the relevant Ministry to implement the same and consequently in all public youth polytechnics, each registered student was subsidized at that rate of Kshs15,000 per year until the end of 2012. From January, 2013 to date, the Government has not remitted this subsidy to the youth polytechnics, thereby grossly jeopardizing operations of these institutions."
