    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, we have funds such as the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF), Uwezo Fund and Women Enterprise Development Fund (WEDF) because women are sometimes youth. If you want to see how the Government does not take the issue of the youth seriously, in the financial year that we are just about to begin, those three major funds that would go a long way in addressing the issue of youth unemployment have been allocated not more than Kshs1.5billion, yet the National Youth Service (NYS) has been allocated a whopping Kshs25billion. That money is one tenth of the total money allocated to the 47 counties in the coming financial year. Do you see what I am talking about? It is due to lack of priorities that the youth issue is being treated basically as a campaign gimmick.When people go for elections, they say: “We shall do this and that for the youth,” but they do not mean it. I say this because two- and-a-half years down the road after elections, what can we say the Government has done for the youth?"
