    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first statement was a request on Uwezo Fund sought by the Member for Tana River, Sen. Bule. He sought the following;- (a) An explanation on how much money was allocated to the Uwezo Fund in the financial years 2013/2014 and 2014/2014? (b) An explanation on the criteria used to share the money in any county? (c) How much money was received by Tana River County for those to financial years? (d) An explanation on the extent the Fund has benefited the residents of that county? (e) State the beneficiary of the Fund? (f) State a list of the Uwezo Fund projects in each of the constituencies in the country? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for questions (d), (e) and (f), there are extensive and very large attachments that are available. The Senator can collect them from the Clerk’s Office. I will respond to the other issue that had been raised. Article 21 of the Constitution of Kenya provides that all state organs and all public officers have a duty to address the needs of vulnerable groups in the society, including women, all members of the society, persons with disabilities, children, youth, members of minority and marginalized communities and members of particular ethnic, region or cultural communities. I want to go specifically to answering the question; the money that has been allocated to Uwezo Fund for Financial Year 2013/2014 - a sum of Kshs6 billion was allocated while for the Financial Year 2014/2015, a total of Kshs390 million was allocated. The total was Kshs6.39 billion allocated for those two years."
