    "content": "In Buuri Constituency, there are very many items and products that, given an opportunity, the people would use and make an income from. It is shameful for us to allocate only 2 per cent of funds to the largest population of this country. I wish the mover of the Motion proposed an allocation of at least 10 per cent borrowed from the NG-CDF, Women Enterprise Fund and Youth Enterprise Development Fund so that we have a bigger pool. We are dealing with a very big population. If funded well, these people will not only have an opportunity for innovation, but will also create employment for others. They will create infrastructure development in centres they will be operating from. They will provide entertainment. They will make a majority of young people, who are into drugs and alcoholism, active in the society. This Motion has come at the right time when the Hustler Fund is being instituted by the Government. I hope that the Fund will target the youth. I, therefore, ask the mover of the Motion to consider lobbying for allocation of much of the Hustler Fund to artisans. I hope Hon. KJ is listening. If that is done, we will prevent a lot of bad things amongst the youth from happening in this country. I am sure that this Motion will be passed by Members. Once it is approved, we will have the responsibility of implementing it. This is a great Motion. I want to remind this House that a majority of Chinese companies that have become multinationals today were all started by artisans. They were small companies, but they have grown to making big things like tiles. If we support these hustlers, they will make a serious base for the economy of this country. I beg to support. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
