I sit in the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and the budget given to the youth was Kshs25 billion. The Leader of Majority Party gave an account of Kshs6 billion that would come through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). What about the other Kshs19 billion that was meant for the youth? Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. view
