    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, and my brother, Hon. KJ, for this particular Motion. This is a very important amid unemployment in generating employment for the youth. If you look at my constituency, we have youth who are making hydram pumps as well as wood carvings. If you look at countries like China and Korea. they have developed through innovation. This is a very important Motion and I fully support it. Ideally, this Motion should be entrenched in the NG-CDF because in principle, we should be earning foreign exchange through the sale of local crafts. Some of the proposals to make in this Motion include zero rating products made by local artisans so that, at least, we promote them and generate market for them. Importantly, we need to commit our embassies abroad basically to market products made by local artisans. We also need to commit funds because most local artisans lack money to enhance their skills. Like my brother mentioned this morning, we also need to specify who the local artisans are. I do not think this Motion cuts across in terms of talking about musicians and others. We are talking of artisans who are using skills to produce hand-made products. I fully support the Motion and I am happy that my brother, Hon. KJ, brought it to the House."
