The issue was raised by Uasin Gishu woman representative, Gladys Boss Shollei who wanted to know why the president launched the application when it was not ready.

But in his submission before the house the cabinet secretary clarified that what was launched by the president was the whole initiave with the application being part of the other three programmes that were launched.

According to Namwamba, the delay in the activation of the  Talenta Hela was due to the procurement challenges of the screening centre.

He made an assurance that the application will become active once the procurement challenges are addressed.
