    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in our Budget, we also have the Kenya Youth Empowerment Programme, to which the World Bank has provided Kshs150 million in the current Budget; it is for the labour-based Kenya Youth Empowerment Programme. We will be releasing the format and the procedure for releasing and using these funds in the course of the year. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry has allocated new projects and has taken on board new projects for the year. They are new projects in the sense that, the length of the road has been segmented into portions. So, one portion which we are going to do on Isiolo-Merille-Marsabit-Turbi-Moyale is Marsabit-Turbi. So, the development partner is giving us Kshs3 billion and the Government Kshs200 million a total of Kshs3.25 billion for Marsabit-Turbi Road. For Eldoret-Webuye-Malaba, the development partner is giving us Kshs1 billion and we will be having Government contribution of Kshs200 million. That will now be Kshs1.2 billion. For Voi-Mwatate-Taveta, Kshs800 million and the missing links are the roads within the City of Nairobi that connect various roads, like the Southern by-pass and the Northern by-pass connected by a link. So, we are going to be spending Kshs31,542,624. From the Government side, we will be having Kshs280 million and when put together, we will be having Kshs311 million."
