Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, change of leadership comes with change of prioritizing projects on the ground. The projects we are talking about were done last year and the hon. Member was not here then.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to say that for a nation like ours - this great Kenya - with such a very rich diversity of youth, we require youth development in all shapes and sizes. This is the very critical aspect, where we need the public-private partnership in youth development. All should contribute! When we talk of youth development, or empowerment, we are talking of not only the skills which emanate from academic qualifications.
