    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I watch the proceedings of Tanzania. As leaders, we tell young people to look for jobs and hire themselves. The question is, why should we not hire ourselves? We went to wananchi to look for employment. So, how do we expect young people to employ themselves? I challenge leaders to stop the narrative of telling young people to create their own employment. We should ensure that we give them opportunities both at the county and national level. Finally, we have been arguing about the 30 per cent on Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO). I am happy that Sen. Sakaja is here. We should actualize it. This is because in the counties, the people who are given tenders and opportunities are only young at heart. The number does not match the below 35 years that is recognized by the United Nations (UN). I challenge county governments and Ministries. When they say that they should give 30 per cent to people living with disabilities, youth and women, they should make it a reality so that when our young people do not get jobs, they get the opportunities. I thank you and wish our interns all the best. The Senate is the right place that has the best of the brains. On behalf of the young people, we welcome them. We wish them all the best. I hope some of us will get an opportunity to directly or indirectly mentor them. This includes, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr., whom I am not sure whether he is a youth.
