"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support this Report. Issues affecting the youth are very sensitive and close to my heart because a larger population of this nation are young people. If we do not take care of our young people, we are throwing this country away. As I moved around Murang’a County campaigning, I was saddened to notice that many of the youth were not even aware of the existence of the YEDF. I have made a lot of efforts as a Member of Parliament to go to the ground and educate the youth on how to access this Fund. The saddest bit is when this money does not reach the people it was intended for. We are aware, from this Report, that a lot of people were involved in malpractices and mismanagement of the YEDF. It is very sad, as my colleagues have already indicated; that the big fish in this country run away with a lot of money, and they are never caught. It is high time the courts did their bit to ensure that these people to go through the prosecution process. The Government has goodwill, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
