    "content": "When it comes to youth empowerment, the youth of this country have always been taken round and round in terms of empowerment. The Government has done great. One, it has provided money for youth empowerment through the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and the Uwezo Fund programmes. At the county level, the Budget has provided Kshs2 billion for rehabilitation of youth polytechnics. Youth polytechnics are very important in giving the youth skills they require. It is high we embraced technology and told our youth that it is no longer time to wait to be employed. Youths can be employers of choice in this country through proper technical training. At the county level, the youths who are not able to proceed to high school are encouraged to join youth polytechnics. The Government has provided Kshs2 billion to rehabilitate and put enough machinery, so that the youth can enjoy. At the same time, when roads were reclassified, it is important to note that most of the roads which used to be rehabilitated by KeRRA were transferred to county governments. For example, my constituency remained with two roads only, namely, the road from Brooke-Chepseon-Kipkelion and Londiani all the way to Makutano and the one starting from Chepsir to Kuresoi. Those are the only two roads which are remaining with KeRRA. The rest have been transferred to county governments. Therefore, that explains the allocation from the Fuel Levy of 15 per cent of Kshs7.8 billion which we should make people aware that this money has been taken to counties. Therefore, the rehabilitation of roads which used to be done under the national Government is now squarely in the county governments."
