• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: long-term intervention to succeed the KKV I programme. According to them and I quote:- “KKVI made progress in employment creation with actual employment achieving 112 per cent of the planned target. Initial plans targeted a total of 232,911 youths. But by mid September, 2009, a total of 296,080 youths had been employed under the KKV Programme” This was achieved under tight budgetary constraints which occasioned delays in the disbursement of funds. The outcome is the Kenya Youth Empowerment Project Two or KKV11. KKV II unlike KKV I had been designed over a longer period. KKV II is anchored on both ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while creating temporary youth employment opportunities, KKV II will also improve youth employability. Private sector internships and trainings are designed to improve youth employability by providing work experience and skills management. It will target 16,000 youth in the 15 to 29 age brackets. These components cover Nairobi and Mombasa before being extended to rural areas. But the project aims to have at least 50 per cent of the youth who complete internships to be immediately employed by the internship employer, by other employers or start a business. The KESPA will be responsible for the internship component. The ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: To address the sustainability concerns, the Government will continue to use the budgetary process to mainstream the projects within Ministries. The World Bank estimates that the cost of creating a job per person per year in Kenya under KKV stands at US$1500. The inequality gap in our country is of serious concern. Poverty has a predominantly young face in Kenya with the youth experiencing the highest rates of unemployment, and under-employment with the rates for the youth being double that of view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: the adult age at about 21 per cent. About 38 per cent of our youth are neither in school nor at work. Our economy is not creating jobs fast enough to match the number of entrants to the labour market. The Government has been seriously concerned about youth unemployment. To this end, the Government has been undertaking various interventions to empower the youth through training and entrepreneurship. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) is another example. To create more opportunities for our youth, the Government is working with our development partners on various initiatives. The USAID has ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these documents will go a long way in being able to assist the House to dig and delve in the issues that are clearly of concern to all members of our society and nation and, in particular, the youth in this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also clarify one thing before I sit down. Indeed, when the newspapers made reference to a figure of Kshs900 million plus, there is a letter, which I will also table, addressed to the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance. The letter is signed by Mr. Abdul Mwasera. It says that they ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: itemized. Those are the issues that remain to be delved in before the World Bank can make its final documentation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in this, they are talking of the preliminary findings of their review. They say that the only figure that is in dispute: “Based on the preliminary findings, the total expenditure identified as potentially ineligible is Kshs33,061,925 (US$375,000)”. They then give the analysis in that document naming either an individual or some expenditure that is not properly validated. That is an exercise that is being undertaken now. We hope that within two weeks, as I have stated in ... view
