    "content": "Lastly, the Government had also realised that the young people in this country face a major challenge in terms of accessing Government procurement services. For that reason, we came up with what we call the Youth Enterprise Fund because we realised that the biggest challenge is that if you give a team of young people, or a young person, an order worth Kshs100 million or even Kshs1 million, when they have no title deeds or anything else, it becomes impossible for them to deliver the services. Therefore, the Government came up with the Youth Enterprise Fund. It has not lived up to our expectations, but if you are able to support the Youth Enterprise Fund and make sure that it works, so that when young people get Government contracts they can get funding to support them, it will help us achieve our goal. With those few comments, once again, I wish to thank all those hon. Members who have contributed in support of this Motion and assure the House that my Ministry, together with all those that work in the infrastructure sector, would want to work with those who are more empowered and are ready to participate in nation building. Thank you."
