• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (c) The list of groups that have benefited from that Fund in the districts since its inception is available and I lay it on the Table. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Indeed, I also want to thank the hon. Member for supporting the Ministry. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must actually note that nearly 13 months after the hon. Member was sworn in, he has not had an opportunity to sit at the Constituency YEDF Committee. I think there is a question that needs to be addressed locally in that particular constituency. That is because every hon. Member is a member of the constituency YEDF committee through his or her nominee. I would advise the hon. Member to consult his constituency youth officer so that he gets that corrected. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, true, as enumerated, steps have been taken and there are pending meetings, including the one on Thursday. There were sessions today in the Attorney-General's Office to get our local legal opinion to complement the FIFA legal opinion. Therefore, it will be reasonable for the House to expect a response by Wednesday next week. Given that the House will be dealing with certain details on Thursday, some matters may be pushed to the next business day, and that takes us to early next week. view

To register a business or any enterprise and operate a bank account, one requires an Identity Card (ID) and that means that he or she must be 18 years or above. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Secondly, hon. Members may however wish to note that the constituency component of the YEDF is advanced to groups which are allowed to have a membership of 30 per cent outside the 18 to 35 years age bracket. Therefore, youth below the age of 18 years can benefit from the Fund by being members of a group. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Hon. Members may also wish to know that the fund has other products such as business development services which benefit youth below the age of 18 years. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports takes matters concerning the youth very seriously because it is a critical issue. Therefore, I want to assure this House that in terms of taking serious considerations and measures that will incorporate young people below 18 years to benefit from the YEDF and specifically the constituency component of that Fund, we have taken that concrete step so that these young people, most of whom maybe in secondary schools or just after completing primary school and form four, can join other youth who by the Kenyan law are in the age ... view
