    "content": "of our emerging cash crops – Macadamia and Avocado – in the same way we do for tea and coffee today. I call upon the Government to support my people in agriculture, and particularly ongoing irrigation projects such as Kaigonji, Mutoigo, Huhoini, Hubuini and others to ensure that our people reduce dependence on rain-fed agriculture. On education, the President has set up a committee to review the CBC, and this is very welcome. Last week, I had a chance to move around my constituency assessing CBC transition readiness and I noted that there were more questions than answers. Still, there is no clarity as to whether the junior secondary school students will be domiciled in secondary or primary schools, and whether they will be borders or day scholars. As such, the request by the President in His Speech, that the Cabinet Secretaries come to the Floor of this House would offer us a very good opportunity to have such issues clarified. I have about 10,000 unemployed and underemployed youth in my constituency. While we are working hard to organize them into groups so that they can engage in viable economic activities, we eagerly wait for the hustlers’ fund. We hope that the Kshs50 billion will come up quickly so that it can boost these groups as we support our micro entrepreneurs."
