    "content": "make an about turn in politics. I am just a good student of those people who came before me. Mr. Speaker Sir, as I finish, I request the Government to ensure that as they wind up their tenure, to revive the economy of the Western Region. We have many young people who have finished university and colleges and have no jobs. The only way to empower our youth and create jobs in this country is by pumping money into the manufacturing sector. Mr. Speaker Sir, we do not want to subject our youth to the principle of tokenism. This is where our youth only depend on people coming with money and giving them free things. We have recently seen in political rallies people giving out money for the youth and they are scrambling for it because they are desperate and do not have jobs. We have seen people promising the young people that they will be given Kshs6,000 for free when they get into power. We do not want to encourage a culture of tokenism in this country. The only way to help our young people in this Republic of Kenya is by expanding the manufacturing industry. That is why I request the President of the Republic of Kenya, as he finishes his tenure, not to go home when Mumias Sugar is at the grave side, Nzoia Sugar is not operating and Pan Paper has not started milling. We want to revive our economy and it is our sole responsibility as leaders from Western Region to defend our people."
