    "content": "I also want to note that with the handshake, it is expected that revenue collection will get better. I want to delve into a few issues. One, I want to note the reduction of the National Youth Service budget allocation. As a Member of the constituency which hosts NYS, I want to confirm that in the constituent colleges of NYS in my constituency, there are about 16,000 young women and men who are being fed through credit. We only hear about the issue of the Kshs9billion in Nairobi. We must not only reduce the budget or the allocation to NYS, but also separate and decentralise it. Let every constituent college come up with its requirements and be given an authority to incur expenditure. We do not have to buy meat in Gilgil and be paid in Nairobi. I have young people in my constituency who grow cabbages and supply to NYS, but they have not been paid for the last two or three years. People from Mbegi supplied tomatoes, but they have not been paid for the last two years. Then you get people who supply air and are paid in Nairobi. We have shylocks who want to auction the property of genuine suppliers. Let us decentralise the expenditure of NYS from Nairobi. Let every constituent college get its own budget and authority to incur expenditure."
