• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are trying to equip all the youth polytechnics that are registered with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. We cannot equip those that are not registered with us. The equipment we give is for dressmaking, hairdressing and carpentry, just to mention a few. I would really like the Members of Parliament to take the initiative to know what we are doing for the youth in this country. I would urge them to get more involved, so that they can know what is happening in our Ministry. view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, we have started establishing these centres at the constituencies level. If we get more funds, we will establish more youth empowerment centre in every district. Yes, we know some constituencies are very vast and that the districts are far apart. So, this will be done once the funds are available. view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will consider doing so. However, I would like the hon. Member to provide us with a title deed or letter of allotment of the piece of land where they want us to construct a centre. I would also like him to furnish us with a letter confirming that he will allocate some money from the CDF kitty for this purpose. view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. Minister for donating time to me and also hon. Ababu Namwamba for bringing this Motion. I have said time and again that people do not plan to fail, but they fail to plan.

• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I wish to apologise for putting Mbitini in Mutito. Mathulini Youth Polytechnic has not been registered yet with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports but it is in the process of being registered. I can assure the hon. Member that once it is registered, we will make sure that it gets the support that it needs from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. If you want us to develop more youth polytechnics for you, you need to enroll more students in those youth polytechnics, since the Government is paying for each student subsidized fees ... view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we will complete most of the projects that we have started, as the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports because we have a budget for them. Maybe the hon. Member should find out because I am not very sure whether some of the blocks were started by the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) or the Local Authorities Transfer Fund (LATF). However, whatever is done by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports will be completed. view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have the figure here, but I am willing to give it to the hon. Member. However I can assure the House that the Italian Government has helped in a number of the youth polytechnics. We will commission some of them on 5th and 6th. I am prepared to forward the information to the hon. Member. view
