    "content": "of an office so that, at least, things can run smoothly? Currently, even if they want to follow up some loan somewhere, they will look for the chief. Maybe, the chief is a member of the group which has failed to repay. How do you expect the chief to assist you in the process? Sometimes, they look for the village elder of the defaulting group. When you go to the village elder, you realise he is a member of the group which defaulted. He will not take you to those people. There is no networking and it becomes a tall order for those officers. They get into a lot of problems in accessing the loanees. They even have problems of moving around. In my constituency, I usually allocate them the NG-CDF vehicle so that they can look for those people and also get more people to borrow. Finally, I would buy the idea of collapsing all those monies into one kitty. Once we put those monies into one kitty, it can be easy to administer and disburse. At the end of the day, the money is for the same category of citizens of this country. It is only that the monies have been baptised as Youth Fund, Uwezo Fund and Women Fund. But the monies go to the same category of Kenyans, who can benefit more if those monies are put together. The administration of the same can be quite easy. It can also be easy to make follow-ups and see how the money is being used. The report is good. I would now challenge the Committee to get down to work and come up with a list of issues that have been identified, so that we can change the regulations. If we put together those regulations and they are passed in this House, the Fund will be more beneficial to our people. It will also be safer and easier to manage. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity."
