    "content": "I support this Bill because it is going to promote the preservation and dissemination of African morals, traditions and cultures among the young. This bit is very important for this country. As I speak, many youths do not understand their cultures or African cultures. They have been westernised to the extent that they do not know what belongs to Africa. If we pass this Bill, the Youth Commission will ensure that it promotes, preserves and disseminates information related to the African culture. If you ask the current generation why somebody needs to respect their parent, they do not understand. Therefore, as we make this Constitution, we must understand that it is for the current generation and generations to come. Opposing it is not a problem. I am a Christian and I know that according to the Bible, for things to work the way they are working now, it forced God, who is very merciful, to eject Lucifer from heaven and send him on earth so that heaven could be a real heaven. Therefore, we encourage those who oppose this Bill, but we know that when President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Amolo sit together, my friend, nobody can defeat their initiative. That assurance I have. I discussed with the people of Suna West and they told me that as long as Raila Amolo Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta support the initiative, they are going to vote for this Bill 100 per cent at the referendum, so that they can receive money for development. This is also so that the interests of the youth can be protected and for WDF is established. I am happy that from the mood of the House, very few people are going to oppose this Bill. Hon. Sankok told me earlier today: “Hon. Masara, I am not going to oppose this thing because youths’ interest is catered for. The rest of the things we will get one day.” For the first time, Hon. Sankok is going to contest and maybe come second so that he can be nominated. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Bill in its entirety."
