    "content": "I have a problem with the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. Everybody knows that it has been a cash cow. Every young person who comes from university suddenly wears good ties because he associates with the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. The women are doing very well with the Women Enterprise Fund. However, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund is just an orifice in which people make paper work and get money for free and refuse to refund. We told the Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS), Hon. Shebesh that the Youth Enterprise Development Fund will not work until there is proper oversight by legislators. That is how the Uwezo Fund has survived. That is how even the Women Enterprise Fund will survive. There is no nexus between the person who is doing business, the place of doing that business and the facilities for which that business is being done. Somebody says that he comes from Kiharu Constituency and then in the proposals, he says that he wants to do that business in Ruaraka Constituency. The Member for Kiharu and the Member for Ruaraka do not know him, but somewhere in the middle, he gets this money. There is very little oversight, leading to a lot of bleeding of public money. We should have stern legislation and regulations that spring from it, which have been thoroughly scrutinised."
