    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I appreciate that the Government has come up with a programme under a fund created by the President, to engage young people in urban centres in the counties under the Kazi Mtaani initiative. This initiative will take six months and the youth will be engaged for 11 days in a month. I urge the Senate and the leadership of this country to move beyond these stop-gap measures in engaging our youth. The Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Mbito is very timely because it generates a national conversation as to what we need to do to give effect to our statement to the youth that they are the ‘leaders of tomorrow.’ The statement is so vague that nobody takes it seriously anymore. In support of the Statement, even as we discuss allocation to counties; that a serious permanent fund be created to enable youth to be involved in agribusinesses and beyond agribusinesses initiatives. That would create jobs and opportunities for them to come together and be engaged meaningfully. Otherwise, we are sitting on a time bomb. I thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I support."
