    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, even as we talk about building Kenya, we need to take our youths for training. We need to ask the Government to give incentives for young people in this country so that they bring in their equipment to complete the value chain and become marketable. Many people would think that the proposed 2 per cent allocation is a small amount but we want people in this country to get equipment so that they can be able to boost their different innovations. It is, therefore, important that this House resolves on what an hon. Member said – that, the 2 per cent should be from Uwezo Fund. Some of the people who took money from Uwezo Fund believed that it was a resource from the Government and, therefore, was never refundable. There are those who wished they could benefit from that Fund but they were unable to. Others were wondering if it was only for trade. Not all young people with innovations will go and trade in a market. Most of them would want to have an app to do something on their phones to digitise any innovation. They can come up with different applications that can do a number of things within our constituencies. Therefore, as I support this, I just want to thank Hon. John Kiarie for also giving food to the children of Dagoretti North. They now find lunch in their schools. We want to say thank you. I am hoping that even as we move forward, we can find many things that we can work together."
