A section of youth from Gesima ward in Kitutu Masaba constituency have challenged Constituency Development Fund (CDF) committee to involve them in budget making.
They claimed that they were sidelined in the previous budget making and didn’t know how the funds were used.
Calvine Osiemo, the youths' leader said: “We have come to realise that some projects were never implemented despite being allocated funds.”
He further claimed that that money allocated for sports and youth empowerment in the previous fiscal year (2014/2015) were not used since there were no sporting activities held in the constituency.
Osiemo also challenged residents to stand in solidarity and demand accountability from their leaders.
“We have a constitution that mandates us to know how money is being used, so I encourage my fellow youths and other members of the society to keep our leaders on toes so that we can develop our constituency," he added.
